We recently fixed lease breaking so that a client's actions won't break its own delegations. But we still have an unnecessary self-conflict when granting delegations: a client's own write opens will prevent us from handing out a read delegation even when no other client has the file open for write. Fix that by turning off the checks for conflicting opens under vfs_setlease, and instead performing those checks in the nfsd code. We don't depend much on locks here: instead we acquire the delegation, then check for conflicts, and drop the delegation again if we find any. The check beforehand is an optimization of sorts, just to avoid acquiring the delegation unnecessarily. There's a race where the first check could cause us to deny the delegation when we could have granted it. But, that's OK, delegation grants are optional (and probably not even a good idea in that case). Signed-off-by: J.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
