Hi, We have a question: how to get all POSIX locks for a given file?
As far as I know, existing API does not allow to retrieve all file locks. Therefore, we need to use kernel internal structures to get all applied locks. Unfortunately, a head of list with file locks is attached to inode rather then vnode. As result, it is much harder to get the lock list head due to the need to know exact inode type that is hidden behind the vnode. Of course, the problem could be resolved in a hackish way: we may get the address of VOP_ADVLOCK() method and compare it with all known FS methods, that handles this VOP operation: (ufs_advlock, etc.) and therefore apply a proper type cast to vnode->v_data to get valid inode. However, this would be a last resort. So the question: is there an elegant way to get the lock list for a given file? Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
