That's a good idea, thanks; done. Actually, I wonder if there's any reason we couldn't also just give posix_test_lock() the same interface as ->lock? (The latter uses the same file_lock argument for the input and (in the case where it finds a conflicting lock) the output, where the former uses an extra argument to pass back the lock.) That'd make this a little simpler too. > In fact that copying out should proably move into posix_lock_to_flock > and posix_lock_to_fock64 helpers similar to the flock_to_posix_lock > and flock64_to_posix_lock helpers we have for the other way around.
