LTP runltp -f syscalls does cover some of that; BTW, looks like fcntl11, fcntl11_64, fcntl21 and fcntl21_64 in there got broken by something already merged. Hadn't don bisect yet, but seeing * NAME * fcntl11.c * * DESCRIPTION * Testcase to check locking of regions of a file * * ALGORITHM * Test changing lock sections around a write lock and * NAME * fcntl21.c * * DESCRIPTION * Check locking of regions of a file * * ALGORITHM * Test changing lock sections around a read lock I'd say that file locking merge is most likely suspect... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
