Most of this is just follow-on cleanup work of documentation and comments from the mandatory locking removal in v5.15. The only real functional change is that LOCK_MAND flock() support is also being removed, as it has basically been non-functional since the v2.5 days. ---------------------------------------------------------------- J.
