Sorry, I disagree here...GETLK is really a misnomer, IMO. TESTLK would have been a better name. GETLK are used is to "get the first lock". It's a way to test whether a particular lock can be applied, and to return information about a conflicting lock if it can't. If, for instance there is no conflicting lock, then you don't "get" any lock information back (l_type just gets reset to F_UNLCK). While I kinda see your point, it isn't what GETLK does; it really does get you information about the first lock -- you're not testing anything. It is also the terminology used in the POSIX standard. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
