77 this lock file afterwards. However, as rgooch remarks, that has a
78 race: a second mount may be waiting on the lock and proceed as
79 soon as the lock file is deleted by the first mount, and immediately
80 afterwards a third mount comes, creates a new /etc/mtab~, applies
81 flock to that, and also proceeds, so that the second and third mount
82 now both are scribbling in /etc/mtab.
83 The new code uses a link() instead of a creat(), where we proceed
84 only if it was us that created the lock, and hence we always have
85 to delete the lock afterwards. Now the use of flock() is in principle
86 superfluous, but avoids an arbitrary sleep(). */

95 * The original mount locking code has used sleep(1) between attempts and
96 * maximal number of attemps has been 5.
98 * There was very small number of attempts and extremely long waiting (1s)
99 * that is useless on machines with large number of concurret mount processes.
101 * Now we wait few thousand microseconds between attempts and we have global
102 * time limit (30s) rather than limit for number of attempts. The advantage
103 * is that this method also counts time which we spend in fcntl(F_SETLKW) and
104 * number of attempts is not so much restricted.
