[PATCH v4 08/32] lock_file(): always add lock_file object to lock_file_list

From: Michael Haggerty <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:02:27
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

It used to be that if locking failed, lock_file() usually did not
register the lock_file object in lock_file_list but sometimes it did.
This confusion was compounded if lock_file() was called via
hold_lock_file_for_append(), which has its own failure modes.

The ambiguity didn't have any ill effects, because lock_file objects
cannot be removed from the lock_file_list anyway.  But it is
unnecessary to leave this behavior inconsistent.

So change lock_file() to *always* ensure that the lock_file object is
registered in lock_file_list regardless of whether an error occurs.
