Re: [PATCH] nfsd: take file and mnt write in nfs4_upgrade_open

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>]

Yes, this looks correct, at least for the immediate fix; thanks!

Eventually I think we should move to opening a new file descriptor when
upgrading, and keeping two file descriptors with the stateid; I think
this business of trying to use a file descriptor for write when we
opened it for read is probably wrong.

--b.
