Linux kernel source tree
Rather than using nfs_uuid.lock to protect installing
a new ro_file or rw_file, change to use cmpxchg().
Removing the file already uses xchg() so this improves symmetry
and also makes the code a little simpler.
Also remove the optimisation of not taking the lock, and not removing
the nfs_file_localio from the linked list, when both ->ro_file and
->rw_file are already NULL. Given that ->nfs_uuid was not NULL, it is
extremely unlikely that neither ->ro_file or ->rw_file is NULL so
this optimisation can be of little value and it complicates
understanding of the code - why can the list_del_init() be skipped?
Finally, move the assignment of NULL to ->nfs_uuid until after
the last action on the nfs_file_localio (the list_del_init). As soon as
this is NULL a racing nfs_close_local_fh() can bypass all the locking
and go on to free the nfs_file_localio, so we must be certain to be
finished with it first.

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 reStructuredText 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.
