1.3 Mandatory Locking As A Mount Option
---------------------------------------
-Mandatory locking, as described in
-'Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.rst' was prior to this release a
-general configuration option that was valid for all mounted filesystems. This
-had a number of inherent dangers, not the least of which was the ability to
-freeze an NFS server by asking it to read a file for which a mandatory lock
-existed.
-
-From this release of the kernel, mandatory locking can be turned on and off
-on a per-filesystem basis, using the mount options 'mand' and 'nomand'.
-The default is to disallow mandatory locking. The intention is that
-mandatory locking only be enabled on a local filesystem as the specific need
-arises.

/*
* linux/fs/locks.c
*
- * Provide support for fcntl()'s F_GETLK, F_SETLK, and F_SETLKW calls.
- * Doug Evans (dje@spiff.uucp), August 07, 1992
+ * We implement four types of file locks: BSD locks, posix locks, open
+ * file description locks, and leases. For details about BSD locks,
+ * see the flock(2) man page; for details about the other three, see
+ * fcntl(2).
*
- * Deadlock detection added.
- * FIXME: one thing isn't handled yet:
- * - mandatory locks (requires lots of changes elsewhere)
- * Kelly Carmichael (kelly@[142.24.8.65]), September 17, 1994.
- *
- * Miscellaneous edits, and a total rewrite of posix_lock_file() code.
- * Kai Petzke (wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de), 1994
- *
- * Converted file_lock_table to a linked list from an array, which eliminates
- * the limits on how many active file locks are open.
- * Chad Page (pageone@netcom.com), November 27, 1994
- *
- * Removed dependency on file descriptors. dup()'ed file descriptors now
- * get the same locks as the original file descriptors, and a close() on
- * any file descriptor removes ALL the locks on the file for the current
- * process. Since locks still depend on the process id, locks are inherited
- * after an exec() but not after a fork(). This agrees with POSIX, and both
- * BSD and SVR4 practice.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), February 14, 1995
- *
- * Scrapped free list which is redundant now that we allocate locks
- * dynamically with kmalloc()/kfree().
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), February 21, 1995
- *
- * Implemented two lock personalities - FL_FLOCK and FL_POSIX.
- *
- * FL_POSIX locks are created with calls to fcntl() and lockf() through the
- * fcntl() system call. They have the semantics described above.
- *
- * FL_FLOCK locks are created with calls to flock(), through the flock()
- * system call, which is new. Old C libraries implement flock() via fcntl()
- * and will continue to use the old, broken implementation.
- *
- * FL_FLOCK locks follow the 4.4 BSD flock() semantics. They are associated
- * with a file pointer (filp). As a result they can be shared by a parent
- * process and its children after a fork(). They are removed when the last
- * file descriptor referring to the file pointer is closed (unless explicitly
- * unlocked).
- *
- * FL_FLOCK locks never deadlock, an existing lock is always removed before
- * upgrading from shared to exclusive (or vice versa). When this happens
- * any processes blocked by the current lock are woken up and allowed to
- * run before the new lock is applied.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), June 09, 1995
- *
- * Removed some race conditions in flock_lock_file(), marked other possible
- * races. Just grep for FIXME to see them.
- * Dmitry Gorodchanin (pgmdsg@ibi.com), February 09, 1996.
- *
- * Addressed Dmitry's concerns. Deadlock checking no longer recursive.
- * Lock allocation changed to GFP_ATOMIC as we can't afford to sleep
- * once we've checked for blocking and deadlocking.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), April 03, 1996.
- *
- * Initial implementation of mandatory locks. SunOS turned out to be
- * a rotten model, so I implemented the "obvious" semantics.
- * See 'Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.rst' for details.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), April 06, 1996.
- *
- * Don't allow mandatory locks on mmap()'ed files. Added simple functions to
- * check if a file has mandatory locks, used by mmap(), open() and creat() to
- * see if system call should be rejected. Ref. HP-UX/SunOS/Solaris Reference
- * Manual, Section 2.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), April 09, 1996.
- *
- * Tidied up block list handling. Added '/proc/locks' interface.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), April 24, 1996.
- *
- * Fixed deadlock condition for pathological code that mixes calls to
- * flock() and fcntl().
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), April 29, 1996.
- *
- * Allow only one type of locking scheme (FL_POSIX or FL_FLOCK) to be in use
- * for a given file at a time. Changed the CONFIG_LOCK_MANDATORY scheme to
- * guarantee sensible behaviour in the case where file system modules might
- * be compiled with different options than the kernel itself.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), May 15, 1996.
- *
- * Added a couple of missing wake_up() calls. Thanks to Thomas Meckel
- * (Thomas.Meckel@mni.fh-giessen.de) for spotting this.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), May 15, 1996.
- *
- * Changed FL_POSIX locks to use the block list in the same way as FL_FLOCK
- * locks. Changed process synchronisation to avoid dereferencing locks that
- * have already been freed.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), Sep 21, 1996.
- *
- * Made the block list a circular list to minimise searching in the list.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), Sep 25, 1996.
- *
- * Made mandatory locking a mount option. Default is not to allow mandatory
- * locking.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), Oct 04, 1996.
- *
- * Some adaptations for NFS support.
- * Olaf Kirch (okir@monad.swb.de), Dec 1996,
- *
- * Fixed /proc/locks interface so that we can't overrun the buffer we are handed.
- * Andy Walker (andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no), May 12, 1997.
- *
- * Use slab allocator instead of kmalloc/kfree.
- * Use generic list implementation from <linux/list.h>.
- * Sped up posix_locks_deadlock by only considering blocked locks.
- * Matthew Wilcox <willy@debian.org>, March, 2000.
- *
- * Leases and LOCK_MAND
- * Matthew Wilcox <willy@debian.org>, June, 2000.
- * Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>, June, 2000.

* Locking conflicts and dependencies:
* If multiple threads attempt to lock the same byte (or flock the same file)
