Hello All,
I'm rooting around in the VFS code and I'm having a problem
with i_flocks. It appears that when a lock is put on an inode
a file_lock structure is added to i_flock list and also added to
a list of all file_lock(s). Is there any documentation that talks
about the overall design of this file locking business?

Also, I
don't understand the concept of a lease (lease_modify, time_out_leases
and so on). Can anyone explain what a lease is?
Best regards,
