This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change
the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how

Bug description:
  Hello,

  Upstream is dicussing the removal of mandatory locks. To actually do
  this at some point distros will need to start disabling
  CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING. It seems our kernel still defaults to
  CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING=y. If feasible I'd like to propose
  disabling CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in the upcoming kernel
  releases. From the thread it seems that RHEL 8 and Fedora already
  disable mandatory locks:

  Thanks!
  Christian
