Subject: locks: add lock cancel command
From: Marc Eshel <eshel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - unquoted
Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case
where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just
to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's
happening too.
We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this
might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from
an asynchronous locking api.
