NFSv4: nfs_client_return_marked_delegations can't flush data
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since even filemap_flush() needs to lock pages that are dirty, we
cannot risk calling it from the state manager context. Therefore,
we need to move the call to filemap_flush() to
nfs_async_inode_return_delegation().
