In a future patch we will need to differentiate between conflicts that
are "transitive" and those that aren't.
A "transitive" conflict is defined as one where any lock that
conflicts with the first (newly requested) lock would conflict with
the existing lock.

So change posix_locks_conflict(), flock_locks_conflict() (both
currently returning int) and leases_conflict() (currently returning
bool) to return "enum conflict".
Add locks_transitive_overlap() to make it possible to compute the
correct conflict for posix locks.

The FL_NO_CONFLICT value is zero, so current code which only tests the
truth value of these functions will still work the same way.

And convert some
   return (foo);
to
   return foo;

Maybe BUG or WARN here or something? locks_conflict should never return
values that aren't in the enum.

If I'm understanding the logic here and in locks_conflict correctly,
you're telling me that in the case where sys_fl is a read lock, and
caller_fl is a write lock, then any lock which conflicts with sys_fl
must conflict with caller_fl?  Or do I have that backwards?  It doesn't
sound right, in any case.

As I was writing this code, I was thinking that I'd probably end up
getting something backwards....
Let's see.  I wrote:

>> +/* A transitive conflict is one where the first lock conflicts with
>> + * the second lock, and any other lock that conflicts with the
>> + * first lock, also conflicts with the second lock.
>> + */

caller_fl is first and sys_fl is second.

if sys_fl, the second, is a read lock, and caller_fl, the first, is a
write lock, they clearly conflict but any other lock that conflict
with caller_fl (The write lock) would *not* necessarily conflict with
the read lock.  So this situation is *not*  FL_TRANSITIVE_CONFLICT.

locks_conflict() only returns FL_TRANSITIVE_CONFLICT when sys_fl (the
second) is a write lock, which it isn't in this case.  So I think that
this case is handled correctly.
posix_locks_conflict() will return FL_CONFLICT, but not
FL_TRANSITIVE_CONFLICT.

Have I convinced you, or have I missed your point?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Eh, I was just confused.

And now I'm tempted to blame you for confusing me, but maybe that's just
my ego going defensive.

(My bruised ego suggests leaving locks_conflict and its callers alone,
and having an entirely separate function that checks this when we need
it.)
