File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

MAINTAINERS: update entry for fs/locks.c
Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor associated with the inode. This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished. Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads. This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance and behavior on close. This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired. Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the last reference to a filp is put. These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by the same process or on the same file descriptor. The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl() syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to "classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't see any need for it. Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

In the 32-bit case fcntl assigns the 64-bit f_pos and i_size to a 32-bit off_t. The existing range checks also seem to depend on signed arithmetic wrapping when it overflows. In practice maybe that works, but we can be more careful. That also allows us to make a more reliable distinction between -EINVAL and -EOVERFLOW. Note that in the 32-bit case SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END might allow the caller to set a lock with starting point no longer representable as a 32-bit value. We could return -EOVERFLOW in such cases, but the locks code is capable of handling such ranges, so we choose to be lenient here. The only problem is that subsequent GETLK calls on such a lock will fail with EOVERFLOW. While we're here, do some cleanup including consolidating code for the flock and flock64 cases.

For architecture dependent compat syscalls in common code an architecture must define something like __ARCH_WANT_<WHATEVER> if it wants to use the code. This however is not true for compat_sys_getdents64 for which architectures must define __ARCH_OMIT_COMPAT_SYS_GETDENTS64 if they do not want the code. This leads to the situation where all architectures, except mips, get the compat code but only x86_64, arm64 and the generic syscall architectures actually use it. So invert the logic, so that architectures actively must do something to get the compat code. This way a couple of architectures get rid of otherwise dead code.

Now all 64-bit architectures have been converted to int-ll64.h, we can remove int-l64.h in kernelspace. For backwards compatibility, alpha, ia64, mips64, and powerpc64 still use int-l64.h in userspace. This is the (reworked for UAPI) non-documentation part of more than two year old "asm/types.h: All architectures use int-ll64.h in kernelspace" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/13/104) Since <asm/types.h> (from include/uapi/asm-generic/types.h) is used for both kernel and user space, include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h cannot just become include/asm-generic/types.h, as Arnd suggested.
