DESCRIPTION

dlm_lock and its variants acquire and convert locks in the DLM.

dlm_lock() operations are asynchronous. If the call to dlm_lock returns an error then the operation has failed and the AST routine will not be called. If dlm_lock returns 0 it is still possible that the lock operation will fail. The AST routine will be called when the locking is complete or has failed and the status is returned in the lksb. dlm_lock_wait() will wait until the lock operation has completed and returns the final completion status. dlm_ls_lock() is the same as dlm_lock() but takes a lockspace argument. This lockspace must have been previously opened by dlm_lockspace_open() or dlm_lockspace_create().

For conversion operations the name and namelen are ignored and the lock ID in the LKSB is used to identify the lock to be converted.

If a lock value block is specified then in general, a grant or a conversion to an equal-level or higher-level lock mode reads the lock value from the resource into the caller's lock value block. When a lock conversion from EX or PW to an equal-level or lower-level lock mode occurs, the contents of the caller's lock value block are written into the resource. If the LVB is invalidated the lksb.sb_flags member will be set to DLM_SBF_VALNOTVALID. Lock values blocks are always 32 bytes long.

If the AST routines or parameter are passed to a conversion operation then they will overwrite those values that were passed to a previous dlm_lock call.

mode Lock mode to acquire or convert to.

   LKM_NLMODE    NULL Lock
   LKM_CRMODE    Concurrent read
   LKM_CWMODE    Concurrent write
   LKM_PRMODE    Protected read
   LKM_PWMODE    Protected write
   LKM_EXMODE    Exclusive
 

flags Affect the operation of the lock call:

   LKF_NOQUEUE     Don't queue the lock. If it cannot be granted return
                   -EAGAIN
   LKF_CONVERT     Convert an existing lock
   LKF_VALBLK      Lock has a value block
   LKF_QUECVT      Put conversion to the back of the queue
   LKF_EXPEDITE    Grant a NL lock immediately regardless of other locks
                   on the conversion queue
   LKF_PERSISTENT  Specifies a lock that will not be unlocked when the
                   process exits; it will become an orphan lock.
   LKF_CONVDEADLK  Enable internal conversion deadlock resolution where
                   the lock's granted mode may be set to NL and
                   DLM_SBF_DEMOTED is returned in lksb.sb_flags.
   LKF_NODLCKWT    Do not consider this lock when trying to detect
                   deadlock conditions.
   LKF_NODLCKBLK   Not implemented
   LKF_NOQUEUEBAST Send blocking ASTs even for NOQUEUE operations
   LKF_HEADQUE     Add locks to the head of the convert or waiting queue
   LKF_NOORDER     Avoid the VMS rules on grant order
   LKF_ALTPR       If the requested mode can't be granted (generally CW),
                   try to grant in PR and return DLM_SBF_ALTMODE.
   LKF_ALTCW       If the requested mode can't be granted (generally PR),
                   try to grant in CW and return DLM_SBF_ALTMODE.
   LKF_TIMEOUT     The lock will time out per the timeout arg.
 
 

lksb Lock Status block
This structure contains the returned lock ID, the actual status of the lock operation (all lock ops are asynchronous) and the value block if LKF_VALBLK is set.

name
Name of the lock. Can be binary, max 64 bytes. Ignored for lock conversions. (Should be a string to work with debugging tools.)

namelen        
Length of the above name. Ignored for lock conversions.

parent 
ID of parent lock or NULL if this is a top-level lock. This is currently unused.

ast    
Address of AST routine to be called when the lock operation
completes. The final completion status of the lock will be in the lksb. the AST routine must not be NULL.

astargs        
Argument to pass to the AST routine (most people pass the lksb
in here but it can be anything you like.)

bast
Blocking AST routine. address of a function to call if this lock is blocking another. The function will be called with astargs.

range
This is unused.

xid
Optional transaction ID for deadlock detection.

timeout
Timeout in centiseconds. If it takes longer than this to acquire the lock (usually because it is already blocked by another lock), then the AST will trigger with ETIMEDOUT as the status. If the lock operation is a conversion then the lock will remain at its current status. If this is a new lock then the lock will not exist and any LKB in the lksb will be invalid. This is ignored without the LKF_TIMEOUT flag.

Return values

0 is returned if the call completed successfully. If not, -1 is returned and errno is set to one of the following:
 EINVAL          An invalid parameter was passed to the call (eg bad lock
                 mode or flag)
 ENOMEM          A (kernel) memory allocation failed
 EAGAIN          LKF_NOQUEUE was requested and the lock could not be
                 granted
 EBUSY           The lock is currently being locked or converted
 EFAULT          The userland buffer could not be read/written by the
                 kernel (this indicates a library problem)
 EDEADLOCK       The lock operation is causing a deadlock and has been
                 cancelled. If this was a conversion then the lock is
                 reverted to its previously granted state. If it was a
                 new lock then it has not been granted. (NB Only
                 conversion deadlocks are currently detected)
 
 If an error is returned in the AST, then lksb.sb_status is set to the one of the above values instead of zero.

                        NULL, // bast routine,
                        NULL); // Range
