I don't know much (anything) about the advisory locking code, but was
puzzled to see the following at the bottom of the flock() system call code
in kern_descrip.c:
if (uap->how & LOCK_EX)
lf.l_type = F_WRLCK;
else if (uap->how & LOCK_SH)
lf.l_type = F_RDLCK;
else {
error = EBADF;
goto done2;
}
FILE_LOCK(fp);
fp->f_flag |= FHASLOCK;
FILE_UNLOCK(fp);
error = VOP_ADVLOCK(vp, (caddr_t)fp, F_SETLK, &lf,
(uap->how & LOCK_NB) ? F_FLOCK : F_FLOCK | F_WAIT);
done2:
fdrop(fp, td);
mtx_unlock(&Giant);
return (error);
}
My reading of that is that the fp->f_flag field will be unconditionally
updated to include FHASLOCK, even if VOP_ADVLOCK() returns an error. Is
this correct?
