PATCH 1/1 base.bbclass: add lock file for do_unpack task

This patch intend to fix the random unpack failure of linux-libc-headers-yocto and linux-yocto.

The root cause of the unpack failure is that: these two recpies has the same URL, thus has the same dest file during the fetch and unpack phase:
do_fetch : create tar ball ${DL_DIR}/git_git.pokylinux.org.linux-yocto-2.6.37.tar.gz do_unpack : extract tar ball ${DL_DIR}/git_git.pokylinux.org.linux-yocto-2.6.37.tar.gz fetch phase is protected by lockfile, so it works fine. but unpack phase is not lock protected, thus there is race condition like: when linux-yocto do_unpack is extracting the tar ball, linux-libc-headers-yocto do_fetch starts to create tar ball thus overwrite linux-yocto's tar ball and cause linux-yocto do_unpack failure

To fix this issue, do_unpack also need to be protected by lock

Nice work! My out-for-review trace-cmd and kernelshark recipes will suffer the same issue.

Thanks to Ke's fix!
Previously I met with the linux-libc-headers unpack failure everytime... Now the failure has gone with the fix.

Thanks,

Ke,

This has been pulled into master as a workaround for the existing issue, please ensure that this issue gets addressed properly once the fetch work is completed to a point that this can be done.

Thanks
Sau!

Yes, with the new fetcher, do_fetch will not create the tar ball for git repo, instead, do_unpack will directly checkout the code from the git repo, thus there will be no race condition and the lock can be safely removed.

I will take care of it in the new fetcher.

Regards
Ke
