From 29723adee11804b548903ddb1db666cf4a60f60e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:54:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] locks: make locks_mandatory_area check for file-private locks Allow locks_mandatory_area() to handle file-private locks correctly. If there is a file-private lock set on an open file and we're doing I/O via the same, then that should not cause anything to block. Handle this by first doing a non-blocking FL_ACCESS check for a file-private lock, and then fall back to checking for a classic POSIX lock (and possibly blocking). Note that this approach is subject to the same races that have always plagued mandatory locking on Linux. Reported-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton --- Reading git-format-patch failed
