Looks good,

Some comments on further work I'd like to see in this area, though:

We really should split a lm_release from lm_change, the way it is
used is highly confusing.  In addition I think a lot of code
currently in lease_modify should move here instead, e.g. something like:


	if (fl->fl_file != filp)
		continue;

	fl = *before;
	fl->fl_type = F_UNLCK;
	lease_clear_pending(fl, F_UNLCK);
	locks_wake_up_blocks(fl);
	if (fl->fl_lmops->lm_delete)
		fl->fl_lmops->lm_delete(fl);
	locks_delete_lock(before, NULL);

with lm_delete for user space leases as:

static void lease_delete(struct file_lock *fl)
{
	struct file *filp = fl->fl_file;

	f_delown(filp);
	filp->f_owner.signum = 0;
	fasync_helper(0, fl->fl_file, 0, &fl->fl_fasync);
	if (fl->fl_fasync != NULL) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "locks_delete_lock: fasync == %p\n",
				fl->fl_fasync);
		fl->fl_fasync = NULL;
	}
}

and a NULL implementation for delegations.
