The current scheme of using the i_flock list is really difficult to
manage. There is also a legitimate desire for a per-inode spinlock to
manage these lists that isn't the i_lock.
Start conversion to a new scheme to eventually replace the old i_flock
list with a new "file_lock_context" object.
We start by adding a new i_flctx to struct inode. For now, it lives in
parallel with i_flock list, but will eventually replace it. The idea is
to allocate a structure to sit in that pointer and act as a locus for
all things file locking.
We allocate a file_lock_context for an inode when the first lock is
added to it, and it's only freed when the inode is freed. We use the
i_lock to protect the assignment, but afterward it should mostly be
accessed locklessly.

I think that the intent of this code was to ensure that a process won't
deadlock if it has one fd open with a lease on it and then breaks that
lease by opening another fd. In that case it'll treat the __break_lease

This seems wrong -- the process could (for instance) be multithreaded

Change the code to instead just zero out the pointer if the lease we

In commit 72f98e7255 (locks: turn lock_flocks into a spinlock), we
moved from using the BKL to a global spinlock. With this change, we lost
the ability to block in the fl_release_private operation.
This is problematic for NFS (and probably some other filesystems as
well). Add a new list_head argument to locks_delete_lock. If that
argument is non-NULL, then queue any locks that we want to free to the
list instead of freeing them.
Then, add a new locks_dispose_list function that will walk such a list
and call locks_free_lock on them after the i_lock has been dropped.
Finally, change all of the callers of locks_delete_lock to pass in a
list_head, except for lease_modify. That function can be called long
after the i_lock has been acquired. Deferring the freeing of a lease
after unlocking it in that function is non-trivial until we overhaul
some of the spinlocking in the lease code.
Currently though, no filesystem that sets fl_release_private supports
leases, so this is not currently a problem. We'll eventually want to
make the same change in the lease code, but it needs a lot more work
before we can reasonably do so.

[1]: leases are owned by the file description. It's possible that this
is a threaded program, and the lease breaker and the task that
would handle the signal are different, even if they have the same
file table. So, there is the potential for false positives with

Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use
byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in
those that does:
fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp;
fl->fl_start = 0;
fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX;
Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description,
move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end
fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of
that in flock ops in those filesystems as well.
Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by
the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as
leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the
same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for
anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.

File-private locks have been re-christened as "open file description"

Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

A fl->fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code
that basically means "never break the lease". knfsd uses this to ensure
that leases don't disappear out from under it.
Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value
to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going
to sleep at all. This makes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and
causes soft lockups.
Fix this by ensuring that we pass a minimum value of 1 as a timeout

in the future we could extend this API without breaking existing
callers.
Typically the l_pid value is ignored for incoming struct flock
arguments, serving mainly as a place to return the pid of the owner if
there is a conflicting lock. For file-private locks, require that it
currently be set to 0 and return EINVAL if it isn't. If we eventually
want to make a non-zero l_pid mean something, then this will help ensure

Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and
unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise
is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor
associated with the inode.
This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that
need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock
management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed
until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished.
Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks
taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one
another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads.
This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these
issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but
have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance
and behavior on close.
This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for
these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the
process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired.
Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the
last reference to a filp is put.
These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX
locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will
also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by
the same process or on the same file descriptor.
The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl()
syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to
"classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not
exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push
this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't
see any need for it.
Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only
available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to
add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

In the 32-bit case fcntl assigns the 64-bit f_pos and i_size to a 32-bit

The existing range checks also seem to depend on signed arithmetic
wrapping when it overflows. In practice maybe that works, but we can be
more careful. That also allows us to make a more reliable distinction
between -EINVAL and -EOVERFLOW.
Note that in the 32-bit case SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END might allow the caller
to set a lock with starting point no longer representable as a 32-bit
value. We could return -EOVERFLOW in such cases, but the locks code is
capable of handling such ranges, so we choose to be lenient here. The
only problem is that subsequent GETLK calls on such a lock will fail
with EOVERFLOW.
