If you have been having problems with lockd/fcntl/lockf, here is some good
info for you!
Bug Fix Id:
unix/4.1/rpc_lockd
Problem:
(BugId # 1038916)
fcntl style locks can drive the kernel out of locking resources.
The bug is caused by MAXLOCK and MAXREF mistakenly limit the
number of locks allowed in the kernel. The fix is to remove the
limit on the number of locks allowed.
(BugId # 1038930)
SAMEOWNER macro in lockf.h is defined incorrectly for user level
locking code. This creates problems when doing file locking over
NFS on sun4c or sun3x systems. The fix is to add ifdef back in and
define a case for user level code.
Release:
4.1
Bug Report Id:
kernel/ufs: 1038916
network/locking: 1038930
You can get this stuff via anonymous ftp from watson.bcm.tmc.edu in the
sunfixes directory. Look for lockd.4.1.tar.
