Subject: [PATCH v5 00/14] locks: implement "file-private" (aka UNPOSIX) locks
Date: Thu,  9 Jan 2014 09:19:33 -0500

This patchset is the fifth posting of this set. The big change in this
set is that it adds new fcntl cmd values instead of l_type values. I
think that will make the interface cleaner for userland, but it does
mean wading through the morass of arch-specific cmd definitions.

Here is a summary of the more notable changes:

v5:
- switch to adding new cmd values instead of new l_type values
- corrected patch by Bruce to fix up range overflow handling
- patch to add Bruce and I as maintainers for fs/locks.c
- disable deadlock detection for file-private locks

v4:
- prefixed the set with the rest of the locks.c patches I have.
- added patch to get rid of BUG() call in locks_remove_flock. I think
  a WARN  + delete the lock is sufficient there.
- added patches from Bruce to consolidate the struct flock/flock64
  to file_lock conversion code
- fixed locks_remove_file not to assume that filp-private locks won't
  be added on filesystems that have a ->lock method.

v3:
- more consolidation of common code between flock_to_posix_lock and
  flock_to_posix_lock64
- better bisectability by reordering changes, such that partial
  implementation won't be exposed
- s/filp/file/ s/FILP/FILE/ in symbol names

v2:
- inheritance semantics have been change to be more BSD-lock like
- patchset size has been reduced by changing how lock ownership
  is handled
- new F_UNLCKP l_type value has been added

Note too that I've gone ahead and opened a request for the POSIX folks
to consider adding this to the POSIX spec once we have something
mergeable. They seem amenable to the idea but don't want to enshrine it
into the standard until there's a real implementation of it:

    http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=768

I also owe them a better writeup of the semantics for these new locks,
but have been holding off on doing that until they're a little more
settled.

I have written a fcntl(2) manpage update for this that I will send to
the list.

J. Bruce Fields (1):
  locks: fix posix lock range overflow handling

Jeff Layton (13):
  locks: close potential race between setlease and open
  locks: clean up comment typo
  locks: remove "inline" qualifier from fl_link manipulation functions
  locks: add __acquires and __releases annotations to locks_start and
    locks_stop
  locks: eliminate BUG() call when there's an unexpected lock on file
    close
  locks: consolidate checks for compatible filp->f_mode values in setlk
    handlers
  MAINTAINERS: add Bruce and myself to list of maintainers for file
    locking code
  locks: rename locks_remove_flock to locks_remove_file
  locks: make /proc/locks show IS_FILE_PVT locks with a P suffix
  locks: report l_pid as -1 for FL_FILE_PVT locks
  locks: pass the cmd value to fcntl_getlk/getlk64
  locks: skip deadlock detection on FL_FILE_PVT locks
  locks: add new fcntl cmd values for handling file private locks
