What the user wants is to load their document :-) Wrt. ENOLCK - AFAICS this is a -completely- valid thing to return if the file can in fact not be locked. It's prolly a bug that this wasn't returned previously - and we just got a different error code that the higher-level code ignored in a more sensible way ;-) I'd put good money on that. The scenario is simple to reproduce, install OpenSUSE 10.0 - or any recent Linux distro (I believe RH have the same problem) - and try to open a file on an NFS share [ by default it seems you can't reliably lock files via NFS ]. I'm sure there are prolly other file systems that you can't lock with - disconnected / synching / stacked pieces / etc. At the end of the day - I can't open my document is pretty painful ;-) potentially of course, we need to teach the upper level code about this and then get it to ignore that error in the same way [ or - to vandalise the user experience we could throw up a dialog saying this document cannot be locked - can I annoy you again ? sometimes always ;- ... up to you ;-] propagating the error up reliably handling it in every case in this way would of course be a more elegant solution I guess. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The problem is not related to the vintage of the kernel, but rather to a broken system setup (which may well be a default system setup of some distro or other). Issue 54586 is all about addressing this problem in a user-friendly way. Again: the patch you supplied IMO does not address the problem appropriately, as it silently alters critical behaviour (when ENOLCK is returned because some system limit has been reached, and a file would be opened unlocked, but the user would expect it to be locked, which can lead to data loss if two people edit the same file at the same time). If you have further concerns, please continue on issue 54586. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I assume that is not intended. 2 According to SUSV3, fcntl/F_SETLK may return ENOLCK when satisfying the lock or unlock request would result in the number of locked regions in the system exceeding a system-imposed limit, and what the comment in your patch considers locking not supported is, again according to SUSV3, indicated by EINVAL instead of ENOLCK. Following SUSV3, I would thus assume that ENOLCK should cause osl_openFile to fail (and that instead EINVAL might be handled in a special way, ignoring the lock request). Under what conditions do you experience ENOLCK on SuSE 10.0? Always? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Luckily the problem is not that important for SL10.0 where it shipped ;-) Wrt. 2 - I assume you're happy that this happens very commonly on more recent kernels ? ;-) clearly we need to handle that error case. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

My dilemma is as follows: Without further information under which conditions exactly this happens, it sounds to me like a bug in the kernel (or at least a deviation from Posix), and the patch looks like a workaround for that bug. However, on other platforms, where ENOLCK indicates the (unlikely) event of resource exhaustion, instead of locking not supported (which your comments imply that it does mean on recent Linux kernels), the workaround makes the code worse (silently ignoring the request to lock a file), not better. Hence, my reluctance to include it as-is. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
