The following changes since commit 55101e2d6ce1c780f6ee8fee5f37306971aac6cd:
Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm (2014-04-14 16:21:28 -0700)
are available in the git repository at:
git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux.git tags/locks-v3.15-2
for you to fetch changes up to cff2fce58b2b0f59089e7edcdc38803d65057b9f:
locks: rename FL_FILE_PVT and IS_FILE_PVT to use "*_OFDLCK" instead (2014-04-23 16:17:03 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
File locking related bugfixes for v3.15 (pile #2)
- fix for a long-standing bug in __break_lease that can cause soft lockups
- renaming of file-private locks to "open file description" locks, and the
command macros to more visually distinct names.
The fix for __break_lease is also in the pile of patches for which Bruce
sent a pull request, but I assume that your merge procedure will handle
that correctly.
For the other patches, I don't like the fact that we need to rename this
stuff at this late stage, but it should be settled now (hopefully).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Layton (3):
locks: allow __break_lease to sleep even when break_time is 0
locks: rename file-private locks to "open file description locks"
locks: rename FL_FILE_PVT and IS_FILE_PVT to use "*_OFDLCK" instead

Nit: they're "descriptors", not "descriptions".
But since that only affects comments and changelogs (not even the macros
names, which are using OFD), that's a very nitty nit....

(So, ACK to the merge. Just make sure the typo doesn't creep into man
pages.)

No, in this case they are not.

No, they are _descriptions_. The descriptor is the number you get back
from doing something like an open(). The description is the thing that
the descriptor points to. This is the terminology that POSIX uses, and
is what was recommended by the glibc and manpages maintainers.
The glibc doc patches lay this out in detail. I'm not terribly thrilled
with the name either, fwiw, but it is better than file-private.

Whoops, I'm pretty sure I'd seen that explained before and just forgot.
Thanks to you and Christoph for setting me straight!
