The lock operation defined by a filesystem is called when an application does an fcntl(), but ignored in the code path used by the lock managers (lockd, for nfsv2/v3, or nfsd itself, for nfsv4). The following patch series remedies that. (It hasn't been a problem till recently, because the filesystems that define -lock() (nfs, cifs, etc.) aren't filesystems that nfsd exports. The arrival of cluster filesystems changes that.)
We'd like an ack by Trond and/or Christoph before this goes in, but it seems ready at least for testing in -mm. The first four to six patches are just locks.c cleanup. --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
