I attached the (modified) patch here, that fixed it for me. You should 
be able to locate the original LKML post. 

Note that I disabled the first hunk, since it doesn't apply to 
2.6.11.4-21.11 and isn't necessary, because you already added the 
locking for this case ;-).

BTW, the nfs locking in later kernel releases is done much different 
(much more fine grained with atomic bitops, but also much more a hassle 
to apply to that kernel in question, thus I resigned it).

I will test before and after the patch with the referenced test program 
and let you know. 

Is there a new 9.3 kernel release already scheduled?
