I've noticed this first with bogofilter, and was able to reproduce the
problem with the enclosed test program.

Setup: kernel 2.4.22 and nfs-utils 1.0.5

A (nfs) client mounts a file system from the (nfs) server with these
options (from /proc/mounts):

server:/fs /fs nfs rw,nodev,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=server

If a process running on the (nfs) client is killed by a signal while
holding a lock on a (nfs) file, the server might not relinquish the
lock even though the locker is dead.

Try compiling and running the enclosed C program on a nfs client to
demonstrate the problem:

   phil@client:~% gcc -Wall -W -o kill-locks kill-locks.c
   phil@client:~% ./kill-locks
   [child] fcntl(F_SETLK): Resource temporarily unavailable
   unexpected status from child 00000100
   successful locking attempts: 2
   zsh: 10479 exit 1     ./kill-locks
   phil@client:~% ./kill-locks
   [child] fcntl(F_SETLK): Resource temporarily unavailable
   unexpected status from child 00000100
   successful locking attempts: 0
   zsh: 10483 exit 1     ./kill-locks
   phil@client:~% ls -i kill-locks.tmp
    371922 kill-locks.tmp
   phil@client:~% grep 371922 /proc/locks
   zsh: 10492 exit 1     grep 371922 /proc/locks
   phil@client:~%

On the server:

   phil@server:~% grep 371922 /proc/locks
   2: POSIX  ADVISORY  WRITE 10480 3a:04:371922 0 EOF c8138840 c8138484 cda9d324 00000000 c813884c
   phil@server:~%

The lock is still held.

While trying to make this test program, I've noticed that the problem
only occurs while I/O is done on the locked file. Note the write() in
a while loop in the test program. I could not get the bad behavior to
show up if no I/O is going on.

Phil.
