There appear to be two separate problems here with two fixes: - the possibility of multiple lockd's at once, fixed by Jeff's patches. - the double-lock problem, fixed by Trond's two patches. It sounds like the latter may actually be what you're more in need of? They're probably easier to backport in any case. I don't know if those are in 2.6.22, or if 2.6.22 is still open. I'd add pointers to those two patches to the bugzilla report for the ubuntu people to look at. --b.
