Subject: [PATCH 7/7] NFS: fix delayed delegation return handling
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:46:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128044706.556046-8-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128044706.556046-1-hch@lst.de>

Rework this code that was totally busted at least as of my most
recent changes.  Introduce a separate list for delayed delegations
so that they can't get lost and don't clutter up the returns list.
Add a missing spin_unlock in the helper marking it as a regular
pending return.

Fixes: 0ebe655bd033 ("NFS: add a separate delegation return list")
