Hi, I was investigating this issue... This looks interesting, but... well, from what I see in the code, ifupdown currently fails as soon as it finds the lock is already taken, it doesn't wait at all. Or am I wrong?
lock_fd() calls fcntl() to F_GETLKW. If another lock exists, F_GETLKW will block until the other lock is released and one can be obtained for itself. This waiting behaviour is critical to being able to make parallel invocations of ifupdown.
