Trond--you mentioned noticing some locks_copy_locks() abuses; is this
what you were thinking of?

commit 07c5abe6899d8ab49368604e64894821d4f60bf9

    locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks
    
    The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
    an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
    as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.
    
    The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
    the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
    copying to it.  This also saves the need for an unnecessary
    locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.
    
    Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.
