[PATCH 2/3] fd/locks: allow get the lock owner by F_OFD_GETLK

From: Stas Sergeev
Date: Tue Jun 20 2023 - 06:03:29 EST


Currently F_OFD_GETLK sets the pid of the lock owner to -1.
Remove such behavior to allow getting the proper owner's pid.
This may be helpful when you want to send some message (like SIGKILL)
to the offending locker.
