nfs/nlm: procedures for PC clients
* This change introduces four NLMv4 procedures: NM_LOCK, SHARE, UNSHARE and FREE_ALL. These are used by PC clients (windows/dos) to control access to files. 1. NM_LOCK: this lock is not monitored by statd. 2. SHARE: A share reservation is a lock on the whole file that is taken whenever a file is opened on windows clients. This has ACCESS (N, R, W, RW) and DENY MODE (N, R, W, RW). ACCESS: mode of access requested by the client; DENY MODE: what the requesting client wants to deny other clients. 3. UNSHARE: remove a share reservation obtained by SHARE. Called while closing a file. 4. FREE_ALL: remove all share reservations and locks, both monitored and unmonitored, of the calling client. * lock and nm_lock use a common function with only a flag conveying whether or not to monitor a lock. * NOTES: 1. SHARE reservations are not STACK_WIND'd to subsequent xlators. These are maintained in-memory in the nfs xlator. 2. Consequently, for SHARE reservations to work effectively, all PC clients *must* mount from the same gNfs server. Not doing so will result in different servers maintaining separate SHARE reservations which will not be enforced for obvious reasons.
