Also in 2.4.7, 2.4.9, 2.4.9-ac4, 2.4.9-ac6.

fs/locks.c, line 693:

----
int locks_mandatory_area(int read_write, struct inode *inode,
			 struct file *filp, loff_t offset,
			 size_t count)
{
	struct file_lock *fl;
	struct file_lock *new_fl = locks_alloc_lock(0);
	int error;

	new_fl->fl_owner = current->files;
[...]
----

No check on whether locks_alloc_lock() succeeds. Or do I miss something?

Patch follows:
