    locks: ensure that fl_owner is always initialized properly in flock and lease codepaths · 130d1f95
    Jeff Layton authored
    Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use
    byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in
    those that does:
    
        fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp;
        fl->fl_start = 0;
        fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX;
    
    Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description,
    move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end
    fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of
    that in flock ops in those filesystems as well.
    
    Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by
    the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as
    leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the
    same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for
    anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.
