[PATCH] locks: don't do unnecessary allocations
posix_lock_file() always allocates new locks in advance, even if it's easy to determine that no allocations will be needed. Optimize these cases: - FL_ACCESS flag is set - Unlocking the whole range Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
