This patch introduces a new flag DLM_PLOCK_FL_NO_REPLY in case an dlm
plock operation should never send a reply back. Currently this is kind of
being handled in DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE, but DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE has more
meanings that it will remove all waiters for a specific nodeid/owner
values in by doing a unlock operation. That DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE never
sends a reply back is not true in case of some user applications and
an error occurred. The new DLM_PLOCK_FL_NO_REPLY flag will tell the
user space application to never ever send a reply back. As this is
now combined with DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE we can use DLM_PLOCK_FL_NO_REPLY to
check if older user space application still doing it and drop the message.
Expecting the user space applications is just copying flags from the
request to the reply, we can use now DLM_PLOCK_FL_NO_REPLY as workaround
to ignore replies from older dlm_controld versions.
