      fuse: fix flock · 37fb3a30
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a
      number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX
      locking infrastructure:
      
        - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace
          unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS)
      
        - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically
          unlocked on file release
      
        - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks
          (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write.
      
      The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock
      locks can be emulated with POSIX locks.
      
      This patch fixes the first two issues.  The last one needs to be fixed
      in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen
      only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse
      library).
