Merge tag 'locks-v3.16-2' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux
Pull file locking fixes from Jeff Layton: "File locking related bugfixes Nothing too earth-shattering here. A fix for a potential regression due to a patch in pile #1, and the addition of a memory barrier to prevent a race condition between break_deleg and generic_add_lease" * tag 'locks-v3.16-2' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux: locks: set fl_owner for leases back to current->files locks: add missing memory barrier in break_deleg
