SubjectRe: A file lock patch
Date
   1. Shouldn't OFFSET_MAX be 0x7fffffffffffffffUL if off_t is 8 bytes?
2. The NFS testsuite expects EINVAL when length > 0 and start +
length - 1 is beyond OFFSET_MAX.

Are you talking about the Connectathon test suite or something else?
I assume you're talking about NFS V2 and NLM V2 or V3, not V4.

The offset size in NLM V1-V3 is 32 bits, the size in NLM V4 is 64.
NLM V4 came with with NFS V3, though I believe you can use NLM V4
with NFS V2. I don't think any existing NFS client does, though.

Hmm - NLM V4 uses the variable length file handles if NFS V3, so that
would be a problem. People with 64 bit file systems really need NFS V3.
V2 with files larger than 2 GB can be ugly.
