Hi,

I have 2 questions about the kernel rpc implementation.

1. What are the return codes (from rpc_call) and their meanings (or where
could I find that, I found that looking at the code itself was really hard).

2. Is it possible to know at what point the rpc call failed ? (from within the 
rpc_task struct, to determine whether the caller couldn't send or it didn't get
a response).

About lock.

3. When the client think it has a lock on a nfs file, but the server thinks the
client hasn't, what happens ? (because I think that sometimes you have to chose
between that and the reverse, the client think it hasn't a lock the server
thinks it has).

Thanks.

Pat
