Subject: [PATCH 03/10] afs: Fix AFS file locking to allow fine grained locks
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 22:59:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155269078209.8537.15085378940532959137.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <155269076033.8537.10785090349210421514.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Fix AFS file locking to allow fine grained locks as some applications, such
as firefox, won't work if they can't take such locks on certain state files
- thereby preventing the use of kAFS to distribute a home directory.

Note that this cannot be made completely functional as the protocol only
has provision for whole-file locks, so there exists the possibility of a
process deadlocking itself by getting a partial read-lock on a file first
and then trying to get a non-overlapping write-lock - but we got the
server's read lock with the first lock, so we're now stuck.

OpenAFS solves this by just granting any partial-range lock directly
without consulting the server - and hoping there's no remote collision.  I
want to implement that in a separate patch and it requires a bit more
thought.

Fixes: 8d6c554126b8 ("AFS: implement file locking")
