2010-10-05fs/locks.c: prepare for BKL removalArnd Bergmann1-3/+2
This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition to a private spinlock as soon as that's done. All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate. Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL and was subsequently reverted. Someone should do some serious performance testing when this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

Don't unlock on vfs_rejected_lock path in afs_do_setlk, since the lock is unlocked after abort_attempt label. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-10-09AFS: clean up explicit check for mandatory locksPavel Emelyanov1-2/+1
The __mandatory_lock(inode) macro makes the same check, but makes the code more readable. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-31AFS: fix file lockingDavid Howells1-47/+79
Fix file locking for AFS: (*) Start the lock manager thread under a mutex to avoid a race. (*) Made the locking non-fair: New readlocks will jump pending writelocks if there's a readlock currently granted on a file. This makes the behaviour similar to Linux's VFS locking.
