If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Weston Andros Adamson commit 5e3a98883e7ebdd1440f829a9e9dd5c3d2c5903b upstream. pnfs_generic_commit_cancel_empty_pagelist calls nfs_commitdata_release, but that is wrong: nfs_commitdata_release puts the open context, something that isn't valid until nfs_init_commit is called, which is never the case when pnfs_generic_commit_cancel_empty_pagelist is called. This was introduced in "nfs: avoid race that crashes nfs_init_commit".
