Trond,

I think this would fix it but the patch I have tested locally is a bit
different.

1).-Instead of

+wait_on_grace:
+ if (!argp->block)
+ return -EAGAIN;

I have

+wait_on_grace:
+ if ((proc == NLMPROC_LOCK) && !argp->block)
+ return -EAGAIN;

2.-I also have this part enclosed in the if(resp->status ==
NLM_LCK_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD) as follows:

if(resp->status == NLM_LCK_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD) {

      blah blah...

wait_on_grace:
                         if ((proc == NLMPROC_LOCK) && !argp->block)
                                     return -EAGAIN
} else {

      ....
}

This with the intention to be very specific as to when we want the return
-EAGAIN to be called.

Juan

Would the following fix it?
