Yeah, that's a possibility. If you can freeze the other threads, and
ensure that they don't execute before they are killed, then in almost
all cases, unshare_files would be a noop.

Also, I have spotted a potential problem with this patch too:

If this situation occurs on NFS, then the state handling code is likely
to get very confused. It uses the fl_owner as the key to the
lock_stateid.

After you execve, the all the locks will still be present but you won't
be able to find them by fl_owner anymore. I imagine they'll just hang
out until the client expires.

David Howells suggested: "you could allocate a 1-byte lock cookie and
point to that from fdtable, then pass that cookie over exec"

I'm not sure about that implementation (maybe consider using ida?), but
an opaque fl_owner cookie for posix locks might be the way to go. It
would mean growing struct fdtable however.
