No extra locks should be needed in the NFS code. In the case of nfs_revalidate_inode(), we're only doing an attribute update (protected by the inode->i_lock). In the case of nfs_lookup(), we're instantiating a new dentry, so there should be no contention possible until after we call d_materialise_unique.
