I_LOCK description?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

may I kindly  request that some knowledgeable person  in an altruistic
mood would write a brief description of the I_LOCK bit of an inode and
either send it here or even better add it to Documentation/filesystems?

I have  a fuzzy idea about  it from reading  the source but I  keep on
finding  new uses every  now and  then (and  forgetting about  those I
found long time  ago). For example I realized  write_inode() is called
with I_LOCK locked only after I deadlocked on it :-(

Thank you very much in advance,

Martin
