[Ocfs2-devel] [nov 29] what is ocfs2_lock() used for ?

[Sunil Mushran]

SLES10 SP2 is shipping OCFS2 1.4 + few HASF specific patches.

If you want to see how 1.4 maps to ocfs2 in mainline, review the shortlog
on the 1.4 git tree. It tells you the full story.

As Tao has already posted, ocfs2_lock() adds posix lock support, which was
added after 1.4 was released.
