[OpenAFS] kernel crashes with 1.4.12.1, linux kernel 2.6.35.9 (F14) and file locks?

[Derrick Brashear]

If it's the setlock (not the unlock) it's a lock upgrade from shared
to exclusive, as that's the only
osi_FreeSmallSpace in the code for locking rather than unlocking. Not
immediately obvious to me
why.
