Re: [PATCH v4] flock.2: add CIFS details

Pavel Shilovsky [off-list ref] writes:

It is not only about writing to a locked file. It is also about any IO
against a locked file if such a file is locked through another file
handle. Right?

Yes that was implied, the write was a simple example to illustrate. I'll
update to make it more generic:

  Another important side-effect is that the locks are not advisory anymore:
  any IO on a locked file will always fail with EACCES,
  even when done from a separate file descriptor.

If you have comments please provide direct text suggestion to save time.

Cheers,
