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.

   Structures
       struct dlm_lksb {
         int      sb_status; /* Final status of lock operation */
         uint32_t sb_lkid;   /* ID of lock. Returned from dlm_lock()
                                on first use. Used as input to
                                dlm_lock() for a conversion operation */
         char     sb_flags;  /* Completion flags, see above */
         char     sb_lvbptr; /* Optional pointer to lock value block */
       };

EXAMPLE

       int status;
       struct dlm_lksb lksb;

       status = dlm_lock_wait(LKM_EXMODE,
                              &lksb,
                              LKF_NOQUEUE,
                              "MyLock",
                              strlen("MyLock"),
                              0, // Parent,
                              NULL, // bast arg
                              NULL, // bast routine,
                              NULL); // Range

       if (status == 0)
            dlm_unlock_wait(lksb.sb_lkid, 0, &lksb);
