    locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock return · 2beb6614
    Marc Eshel 提交于
    Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with
    remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such
    communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously.
    
    When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return
    -EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the
    routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct.
    
    This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking
    lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock
    is granted, and the caller retries the original lock.  So while
    fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant
    actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the
    lock already acquired in the succesful case).
    
    Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a
    conflicting lock.  We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the
    filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after
    the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.
