[glibc PATCH] fcntl-linux.h: add F_OFD_*32 constants

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

 



The original assumption with OFD lock support was that userland would
always pass in a struct flock that has been set up for large file
support (LFS). It's possible however for someone to build a 32-bit
program without large file support, and still try to use OFD locks. If
that happens then it will send a non-LFS struct flock to the kernel,
which will then try to interpret it as a LFS one, which can cause
unexpected results.

My original idea was to just ensure that the build would fail in this
case by not defining the F_OFD_* constants when LFS support was not
enabled.

Instead though, it's probably better long-term to just go ahead and
support OFD locks with non-LFS struct flock. To do that without breaking
programs that are already working, we add a set of F_OFD_*32 constants,
and add the plumbing to the kernel to make those do the right thing.

This patch adds the same constants to glibc, and has it redefine the
"normal" F_OFD_* constants to their *32 equvalents when LFS support is
not in use.
