From cf8e06f1a860d8680d6bb4ac8ec7d7724988e46f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Fasheh Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:43:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: add flock lock type This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock() requests. Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request. In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock() does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.
