Public bug reported: Hello,
Upstream is dicussing the removal of mandatory locks. To actually do this at some point distros will need to start disabling CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING. It seems our kernel still defaults to CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING=y. If feasible I'd like to propose disabling CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in the upcoming kernel releases. >From the thread it seems that RHEL 8 and Fedora already disable mandatory locks: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c65c4e42-9661-1321-eaf8-61b1d6f89...@redhat.com Thanks!
