Hi, The LTP test fcntl23 is failing. It does, in essence, fd = open(xxx, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0777); if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_RDLCK) == -1) fail;
fcntl always returns EAGAIN here. The manual page says that a read lease causes notification when `another process' opens the file for writing or truncates it. The kernel implements `any process' (including the current one). Which semantics are correct? Personally I think that what the kernel implements is correct (you can't get a read lease unsless there are no writers _at_ _all_) -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au The technical we do immediately, the political takes *forever* - 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/
