Subject: [PATCH] locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)
Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 18:38:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070510223843.GB13719@fieldses.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070510193050.GQ13719@fieldses.org>
In 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c we changed posix_test_lock
to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input
and output arguments. This makes it no longer safe to set the output
lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that
means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK.
This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no
conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do
its own locking).
Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type. This isn't
strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems
less likely to cause confusion in the future.
Thanks to Doug Chapman for the bug report.
