[PATCH 4/4] virtiofs: Support blocking posix locks (fcntl(F_SETLKW))

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Fri Nov 15 2019 - 15:57:33 EST


As of now we don't support blocking variant of posix locks and daemon returns
-EOPNOTSUPP. Reason being that it can lead to deadlocks. Virtqueue size is
limited and it is possible we fill virtqueue with all the requests of
fcntl(F_SETLKW) and wait for reply. And later a subsequent unlock request
can't make progress because virtqueue is full. And that means F_SETLKW can't
make progress and we are deadlocked.

Use notification queue to solve this problem. After submitting lock request
device will send a reply asking requester to wait. Once lock is available,
requester will get a notification saying locking is available. That way
we don't keep the request virtueue busy while we are waiting for lock
and further unlock requests can make progress.

When we get a reply in response to lock request, we need a way to know if
we need to wait for notification or not. I have overloaded the
fuse_out_header->error field. If value is ->error is 1, that's a signal
to caller to wait for lock notification.
