    NFS: O_DIRECT async IO may lose context · a8881f5a
    Trond Myklebust authored
    The struct nfs_direct_req currently keeps a pointer to the file descriptor
    without referencing it. This may cause problems if the parent process is
    killed.
    
    The nfs_open_context should normally have all the information that we're
    currently using the filp for, and unlike fput(), is safe to release from
    an rpciod process context.
