            Bug ID: 16839
           Summary: Add support for file-private locks
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jlayton at poochiereds dot net
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com

File-private record locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15. Please add the
appropriate definitions for the cmd types and documentation updates to glibc so
that they can be used.

Here's a writeup of the feature on LWN:

    http://lwn.net/Articles/586904/

There were some minor changes to the interface after that article was written,
but it's a good overview.

I've also opened a bug at the austingroup to see about getting this added to
the POSIX spec, but they (understandably) won't really look at it until there's
a shipping implementation.
