12 * Documentation/technical/api-lockfile.txt
14 * This module keeps track of all locked files in lock_file_list for
15 * use at cleanup. This list and the lock_file objects that comprise
16 * it must be kept in self-consistent states at all time, because the
17 * program can be interrupted any time by a signal, in which case the
18 * signal handler will walk through the list attempting to clean up
19 * any open lock files.
21 * A lockfile is owned by the process that created it. The lock_file
22 * object has an "owner" field that records its owner. This field is
23 * used to prevent a forked process from closing a lockfile created by
26 * The possible states of a lock_file object are as follows:
28 * - Uninitialized. In this state the object's on_list field must be
29 * zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized. As
30 * soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably
31 * registered in the lock_file_list, and on_list is set.
33 * - Locked, lockfile open (after hold_lock_file_for_update(),
34 * hold_lock_file_for_append(), or reopen_lock_file()). In this
36 * - the lockfile exists
38 * - filename holds the filename of the lockfile
39 * - fd holds a file descriptor open for writing to the lockfile
40 * - owner holds the PID of the process that locked the file
42 * - Locked, lockfile closed (after successful close_lock_file()).
43 * Same as the previous state, except that the lockfile is closed
46 * - Unlocked (after commit_lock_file(), rollback_lock_file(), a
47 * failed attempt to lock, or a failed close_lock_file()). In this
50 * - filename[0] == '\0' (usually, though there are transitory states
51 * in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should *not*
54 * - the object is left registered in the lock_file_list, and
