So I looked at the call sites for nfs4_get_vfs_file(), how about something like 
this:

after we grab the fp->fi_lock, we can do test_access(open->op_share_access, 
stp);

If that returns true - just drop the spinlock and return EAGAIN.

The callsite in nfs4_upgrade_open() would handle that by retesting the access 
map
again and either coming back in or more likely reusing the now updated stateid
(synchronised by the fi_lock again).
We probably need to convert the whole access map testing there to be under
fi_lock.
Something like:
nfs4_upgrade_open(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct nfs4_file *fp, struct svc_fh 
*cur_fh, struct nfs4_ol_stateid *stp, struct nfsd4_open *open)
{
        __be32 status;
        unsigned char old_deny_bmap = stp->st_deny_bmap;

again:
+        spin_lock(&fp->fi_lock);
        if (!test_access(open->op_share_access, stp)) {
+               spin_unlock(&fp->fi_lock);
+               status = nfs4_get_vfs_file(rqstp, fp, cur_fh, stp, open);
+               if (status == -EAGAIN)
+                       goto again;
+               return status;
+       }

        /* test and set deny mode */
-        spin_lock(&fp->fi_lock);
        status = nfs4_file_check_deny(fp, open->op_share_deny);


The call in nfsd4_process_open2() I think cannot hit this condition, right?
probably can add a WARN_ON there? BUG_ON? more sensible approach?

Alternatively we can probably always call nfs4_get_vfs_file() under this 
spinlock,
just have it drop that for the open and then reobtain (already done), not as 
transparent I guess.

Or the fi_lock might be converted to say a mutex, so we can sleep with it held 
and
then we can hold it across whole invocation of nfs4_get_vfs_file() and access 
testing and stuff.
