I think the fl_nspid is the actual pid namespace where the lock was created, where as pid can be just a unique value required by NFS. I gathered that information while reading the changelogs and the mailing list discussion here: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/containers/2007-December/009044.html _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
