vfs_lock_file, vfs_test_lock and vfs_cancel_lock all take both a struct file argument and a file_lock. The file_lock has a fl_file field in it howevever and it _must_ match the file passed in. While most of the locks.c routines use the separately-passed file argument, some filesystems rely on fl_file being filled out correctly. I'm working on a patch series to remove the redundant argument from these routines, but for now, let's ensure that the callers always set this properly by issuing a WARN_ON_ONCE if they ever don't match.

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.
