I didn't send the actual patch. The idea is,
can't we use O_LOCK_FLAGS bit? I agree, it is a bit ugly,
and I won't insist if you don't like is.
static inline int try_lock_f_flags(struct file *file)
{
return !test_and_set_bit(O_LOCK_FLAGS, file->f_flags);
}
->f_flags is an unsigned int and the bit macros need an unsigned long.
Increasing the size of struct file for this is probably a bad idea.
Could that be seen as a deficiency in the bit macros?
Could we modify them so that they worked on unsigned int as well? I
know we could for some architectures.
