[Virtio-fs] [PATCH 0/3] Virtiofs: Support for remote blocking posix locks

[Ioannis Angelakopoulos]

Adding support for remote blocking locks in virtiofs. Initially linux
only supported the fcntl(SETLK) option. Now the fcntl(SETLKW) option
is also supported.

A guest issuing a fcntl(SETLKW) system call will block if another guest
has already acquired the lock. Once the lock is available then the
blocking guest will receive a notification, through the notification
queue. Then the guest will unblock and acquire the lock.

Vivek Goyal (3):
  virtiofs: Add an index to keep track of first request queue
  virtiofs: Add a virtqueue for notifications
  virtiofs: Support blocking posix locks (fcntl(F_SETLKW))
