Description of problem: The write call checks for a mandatory lock only once at its start. It is therefore possible for a mandatory lock request to be granted after this check but before the data is modified. An application may then see file data changed even while a mandatory lock was held. Similarly, an exclusive mandatory lock may be granted on a file for which a read is on going, but before the read has actually completed, and the reading application may see the file data in a state which should not have been visible to it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Considering we had no reported bug about this in last 3 years, would prefer to mark it DEFERRED, and revisit this depending on time/resource after couple of releases.
