5.14.

1.3 Mandatory Locking As A Mount Option
---------------------------------------
Mandatory locking, as described in
'Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.rst' was prior to this release a
general configuration option that was valid for all mounted filesystems. This
had a number of inherent dangers, not the least of which was the ability to
freeze an NFS server by asking it to read a file for which a mandatory lock
existed.
From this release of the kernel, mandatory locking can be turned on and off
on a per-filesystem basis, using the mount options 'mand' and 'nomand'.
The default is to disallow mandatory locking. The intention is that
mandatory locking only be enabled on a local filesystem as the specific need
arises.
