From 2dd10de8e6bcbacf85ad758b904543c294820c63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Aring Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 17:53:18 -0400 Subject: lockd: introduce safe async lock op This patch reverts mostly commit 40595cdc93ed ("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") and introduces an EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK export flag to signal that the "own ->lock" implementation supports async lock requests. The only main user is DLM that is used by GFS2 and OCFS2 filesystem. Those implement their own lock() implementation and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED as return value. Since commit 40595cdc93ed ("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") the DLM implementation were never updated. This patch should prepare for DLM to set the EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK export flag and update the DLM plock implementation regarding to it.
