/*
 * File write-locks as used by Git.
 *
 * For an overview of how to use the lockfile API, please see
 *
 *     Documentation/technical/api-lockfile.txt
 *
 * This module keeps track of all locked files in lock_file_list for
 * use at cleanup. This list and the lock_file objects that comprise
 * it must be kept in self-consistent states at all time, because the
 * program can be interrupted any time by a signal, in which case the
 * signal handler will walk through the list attempting to clean up
 * any open lock files.
 *
 * A lockfile is owned by the process that created it. The lock_file
 * object has an "owner" field that records its owner. This field is
 * used to prevent a forked process from closing a lockfile created by
 * its parent.
 *
 * The possible states of a lock_file object are as follows:
 *
 * - Uninitialized.  In this state the object's on_list field must be
 *   zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized.  As
 *   soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably
 *   registered in the lock_file_list, and on_list is set.
 *
 * - Locked, lockfile open (after hold_lock_file_for_update(),
 *   hold_lock_file_for_append(), or reopen_lock_file()). In this
 *   state:
 *   - the lockfile exists
 *   - active is set
 *   - filename holds the filename of the lockfile
 *   - fd holds a file descriptor open for writing to the lockfile
 *   - owner holds the PID of the process that locked the file
 *
 * - Locked, lockfile closed (after successful close_lock_file()).
 *   Same as the previous state, except that the lockfile is closed
 *   and fd is -1.
 *
 * - Unlocked (after commit_lock_file(), rollback_lock_file(), a
 *   failed attempt to lock, or a failed close_lock_file()).  In this
 *   state:
 *   - active is unset
 *   - filename is empty (usually, though there are transitory
 *     states in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should
 *     *not* rely on the filename being empty in this state.
 *   - fd is -1
 *   - the object is left registered in the lock_file_list, and
 *     on_list is set.
