Subjectpost 2.6.21 regression in F_GETLK
From
Date
A recent regression (introduced after 2.6.21) was caught by the LTP test
fcntl11. It appears that F_GETLK is not properly checking for existing
F_RDLCK and allows taking out a write lock.

This can be demonstrated by either running fcntl11 from the LTP suite or
I have hacked up a much shorter version which demonstrates the issue and
am attaching it.

Using git bisect I came up with this commit as the one that introduced
the issue. I briefly tried to back this out from the current tree but
appears a lot has change since then so I will need to try that manually.


commit c2fa1b8a6c059dd08a802545fed3badc8df2adc1

locks: create posix-to-flock helper functions

Factor out a bit of messy code by creating posix-to-flock counterparts
to the existing flock-to-posix helper functions.
