Proposal for new lock ownership scheme to support NFS over distributed filesystems
Hey, how about cc'ing either me or linux-fsdevel when discussing file locking in the future as described in MAINTAINERS?
Your idea doesn't work because we need fl_owner to be the files_struct for local locks. It also doesn't work because IPv4 is not the only protocol which NFS runs over.
