Linux kernel source tree
8cf9a01edc
Some lock managers (NLM, kNFSD) fastidiously avoid blocking their kernel threads while servicing blocking locks. If a filesystem supports asynchronous lock requests those lock managers can use notifications to quickly inform clients they have acquired a file lock. Historically, only posix_lock_file() was capable of supporting asynchronous locks so the check for support was simply file_operations->lock(), but with recent changes in DLM, both GFS2 and OCFS2 also support asynchronous locks and have started signalling their support with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK. We recently noticed that those changes dropped the checks for whether a filesystem simply defaults to posix_lock_file(), so async lock notifications have not been attempted for NLM and NFSv4.1+ for most filesystems. While trying to fix this it has become clear that testing both the export flag combined with testing ->lock() creates quite a layering mess. It seems appropriate to signal support with a fop_flag. Add FOP_ASYNC_LOCK so that filesystems with ->lock() can signal their capability to handle lock requests asynchronously. Add a helper for lock managers to properly test that support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
