Subject: [PATCH] 2 of 2 - Allow O_EXCL on a block device to claim exclusive use.
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 12:35:57 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E19m2XN-0002BU-00@notabene> (raw)

### Comments for ChangeSet

the blockdev layer has a concept of 'claiming' a device,
so for example it can be claimed when a filesystem is
mounted or when it is included into a raid array.
Only one subsystem can claim it at a time.

This patch matches this functionality available to user-space
via the O_EXCL flag to open.

This allows user-space programs to easily test if a device
is currently mounted etc, and to prevent a device from being
mounted or otherwise claimed.
