Comment (by mtredinnick):
A few things here.
Firstly, sorry that you got mail from somebody without the manners to
understand how Open Source works. Unfortunately, that happens from time to
time. Unpleasant, I agree.
I don't really understand your argument about unlinking. We release the
lock before unlinking and unlinking just reduces the link count, so the
file isn't removed until the last user has gone away (and unlocked it
first). So I don't quite see the failure mode you're talking about.
Leaving 0 bytes files around is simply not an option. It will eventually
fill up the directory's dirent records to the point that you cannot create
any more files, which is very uncool. We can't replace one bug with a
different one.
I'll back out the patch, try to understand what's going on and possibly
resurrect the "move" version, ugly as it may be. Since you do have a nice
failing case, I'll attach the patch here when I'm done and get a thumbs up
from you before it goes in. I couldn't repeat the issue yesterday at all.
