[Linux-cluster] DLM user API for lock value block

[Jean-Marc Saffroy]

Hi,

I am trying to use the DLM userland API (libdlm3), and while I was able to 
do plain lock acquisitions and conversions, I am stuck trying to update 
and then read the lock value block.

Does anyone have working examples of this? I did look at the rhdlmbook 
doc, but couldn't fine one.

Attached is a messy test I wrote, which fails because it looks like 
up-converting a lock with the LKF_VALBLK set doesn't seem to overwrite the 
buffer I provide for the lock value block (and with strace it looks like 
the kernel device returns the LVB on a down-conversion! weird). Example 
output below.


Cheers,
Jean-Marc
