[patch 090/176] NFS: Fix an NFS client lockdep issue

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Feb 15 2011 - 19:49:58 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e00b8a24041f37e56b4b8415ce4eba1cbc238065 upstream.

There is no reason to be freeing the delegation cred in the rcu callback,
and doing so is resulting in a lockdep complaint that rpc_credcache_lock
is being called from both softirq and non-softirq contexts.
