This patch is changing the fl_owner value in case of an nfs lock request to not be the pid of lockd. Instead this patch changes it to be the owner value that nfs is giving us. Currently there exists proved problems with this behaviour. One nfsd server was created to export a gfs2 filesystem mount. Two nfs clients doing a nfs mount of this export. Those two clients should conflict each other operating on the same nfs file. A small test program was written: int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { struct flock fl = { .l_type = F_WRLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_start = 1L, .l_len = 1L, }; int fd; fd = open("filename", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0700); printf("try to lock...\n"); fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, &fl); printf("locked!\n"); getc(stdin); return 0; } Running on both clients at the same time and don't interrupting by pressing any key. It will show that both clients are able to acquire the lock which shouldn't be the case. The issue is here that the fl_owner value is the same and the lock context of both clients should be separated. This patch lets lockd define how to deal with lock contexts and chose hopefully the right fl_owner value. A test after this patch was made and the locks conflicts each other which should be the case.
