Hi all, As part of preparing GlusterFS to cope with Multi-protocol environment, it is necessary to have mandatory locks support within the file system with respect to its integration to protocols like NFS or SMB. This will allow clients which require mandatory locks to apply for the same instead of the default advisory mode locks. GlusterFS native clients can still live with their current advisory lock semantics. Apart from linux-style mandatory locks, which is enforced based on file mode bits, this feature enables us to force the entire volume to either strictly follow mandatory lock semantics or to have a mixed environment where both advisory and mandatory locks exists on their own. Please see/review [1] for detailed design doc and add your suggestions/comments as early as possible.
