  • ocfs2_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666. This
    is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after a
    process has obtained a lock on the file.

    ocfs2_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when unlocking a
    file.

  • This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
    work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
    underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.

    Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
    UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
    Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
    whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
    implementing local-only versions of ->lock.
