Subject: lslocks – "failed to parse pid: 'WRITE'"
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:42:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <kf0ehe$q7h$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

When one process is holding an exclusive lock on a file, and other
processes are waiting for the lock to be released, the contents of
/proc/locks look like this:

$ cat /proc/locks
1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 431143 00:0f:6325223 0 EOF
1: -> FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 405209 00:0f:6325223 0 EOF
1: -> FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 399578 00:0f:6325223 0 EOF
1: -> FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 434120 00:0f:6325223 0 EOF
2: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 359765 08:04:28180839 0 EOF
3: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 359765 08:04:28180837 0 EOF
4: POSIX  ADVISORY  WRITE 434729 08:04:8653261 0 EOF
4: -> POSIX  ADVISORY  WRITE 434737 08:04:8653261 0 EOF
5: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 359765 08:04:28180836 0 EOF
6: ...

If I try to run `lslocks`, it fails to parse the "->" lines and exits
with an error message:

    lslocks: failed to parse pid: 'WRITE'

Can be reproduced by:

touch foo & flock foo -c "sleep 100" & flock foo -c "sleep 100" &
touch foo & lckdo -w foo sleep 100 & lckdo -w foo sleep 100 &
