/*
 * linux/fs/lockd/svclock.c
 *
 * Handling of server-side locks, mostly of the blocked variety.
 * This is the ugliest part of lockd because we tread on very thin ice.
 * GRANT and CANCEL calls may get stuck, meet in mid-flight, etc.
 * IMNSHO introducing the grant callback into the NLM protocol was one
 * of the worst ideas Sun ever had. Except maybe for the idea of doing
 * NFS file locking at all.
 *
 * I'm trying hard to avoid race conditions by protecting most accesses
 * to a file's list of blocked locks through a semaphore. The global
 * list of blocked locks is not protected in this fashion however.
 * Therefore, some functions (such as the RPC callback for the async grant
 * call) move blocked locks towards the head of the list *while some other
 * process might be traversing it*. This should not be a problem in
 * practice, because this will only cause functions traversing the list
 * to visit some blocks twice.
