locks: require that flock->l_pid be set to 0 for file-private locks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Neil Brown suggested potentially overloading the l_pid value as a "lock
context" field for file-private locks. While I don't think we will
probably want to do that here, it's probably a good idea to ensure that
in the future we could extend this API without breaking existing
callers.

Typically the l_pid value is ignored for incoming struct flock
arguments, serving mainly as a place to return the pid of the owner if
there is a conflicting lock. For file-private locks, require that it
currently be set to 0 and return EINVAL if it isn't. If we eventually
want to make a non-zero l_pid mean something, then this will help ensure
that we don't break legacy programs that are using file-private locks.
