The conflicting lock might be held by a process whose pid is not visible from the client's namespace. That doesn't mean that the GETLK should fail, it just means that l_pid can't be filled in (same as in NFS when a lock held on a different client). AFAICS, NFS fills l_pid with zero in that case. Makes sense, not sure why the man page doesn't document that. > > > @@ -2170,7 +2175,9 @@ static void fuse_lk_fill(struct fuse_req *req, struct file *file, > > > arg->lk.start = fl->fl_start; > > > arg->lk.end = fl->fl_end; > > > arg->lk.type = fl->fl_type; > > > - arg->lk.pid = pid; > > > + arg->lk.pid = pid_nr_ns(pid, fc->pid_ns); > > > + if (pid && arg->lk.pid == 0) > > > + return -EOVERFLOW; > > > > Could have done the conversion immediately after getting 'pid' with task_tgid(), > > then the changes would have been smaller and more localized. > > The changes would be very marginally smaller since currently only one > caller of fuse_lk_fill which passes a non-zero pid.

I prefer the simpler (even if only marginally) one.
