Hi, I'm trying to investigate why my apache compiled with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (and glibc 2.2 build against 2.4.0-test10 headers) immediately dies with [emerg] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: fcntl: F_SETLKW: Error getting accept lock, exiting! This happens while trying to get the file lock to serialize accept. The first child gets the lock, the other should block. However, fnctl(fd, F_SETLKW, ...) returns with EAGAIN (which shouldn't be possible, it would be correct for F_SETLK). Note that for the above compile flags, libc's F_SETLKW is 14 (on i386) which in the kernel is F_SETLKW64 (kernel's F_SETLKW is 7). strace shows that the actual system call used by libc is fcntl64. For 2.4.0-test11, fs/fcntl.c has the following code: asmlinkage long sys_fcntl64(unsigned int fd, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg ) { ... switch (cmd) { case F_GETLK64: err = fcntl_getlk64(fd, (struct flock64 *) arg); break; case F_SETLK64: err = fcntl_setlk64(fd, cmd, (struct flock64 *) arg); break; case F_SETLKW64: err = fcntl_setlk64(fd, cmd, (struct flock64 *) arg); break ... i.e. fcntl_setlk64() is called with cmd==F_SETLKW64, but in fs/locks.c: int fcntl_setlk64(unsigned int fd, unsigned int cmd, struct flock64 *l) { ... error = posix_lock_file(filp, file_lock, cmd == F_SETLKW); ^^^^^^^^ where the last argumet to posix_lock_file governs wait vs. immediate return.
