Hi, Attached in subsequent mails is an updated patch series for file record locking support, mainly developed by Neal Walfield in 2001. The patch was published by Marcus Brinkmann and later re-diffed by Michael Banck in 2002. Now modified to use libpthread instead of cthreads. Additional fixes since last submission include a bug fix in the libdiskfs implementation, a full libnetfs implementation and a proxy solution for libtrivfs (more later). Added to libfshelp-tests are two new files: set-fcntl.c and set-flock.c. They need some further work before being general enough to be usable for testing all implementations of file record locking.
Links: http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?1022 http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?332 I've run this patched Hurd on several kvm images since July 2014 without problems. There are still remaining issues to solve, especially implementation of the proc_user_identify and proc_server_identify RPCs. However I'd like to give an update of the current status, therefore this patch series update now. Patches: [1/6] libfshelp_rlock.patch [2/6] libdiskfs_file_record_lock.patch [3/6] libtrivfs_file_record_lock.patch [4/6] libnetfs_file_record_lock.patch [5/6] hurd_add_RPC.patch [6/6] libfshelp-tests_rlock.patch This patch series is followed by the corresponding glibc patch: fcntl.diff
