Bah. I think that commit is entirely broken, due to having the
arguments to the "copy_flock_fields()" in the wrong order.

The copy_flock_fields() macro has the arguments in order <from, to>,
but all the users seem to do it the other way around.

I think it would have been more obvious if the put_compat_flock*()
source argument had been "const".

I'm not seeing a patch, so I did my own. But it's _entirely_ untested.
Does the attached fix things for you?

Oh, I see you sent a patch to the list but didn't cc me like in this thread.

Hmm. Al - I'd like to add the "const" parts at least. How the ordering
gets fixed (I changed it in the users of the macro, Michael changed
the macro itself) I don't much care about.

Can you get me a pull request soon since this presumably also breaks
every other compat case, and it just happened that power was the one
that noticed it first.. Or I can just commit my version, but I guess
Michael's is at least tested..

Oops, I sent it To you, but I forgot to make it a reply to this thread
which was daft.
