(Sorry for the empty comment)

Description of problem:
mgetty fails after upgrading to F19 from F18

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mgetty-1.1.36-21.fc19

How reproducible:
Always

Relevant log lines:

07/09 08:58:00  opening voice modem device
07/09 08:58:00   voice open 'ttyACM0'
07/09 08:58:00   makelock(ttyACM0) called

07/09 08:58:10   makelock(ttyACM0) called
07/09 08:58:10  lock not made: dev_lock() failed: Success

Log with mgetty rebuilt without the lockdev patch:

07/09 19:03:10  opening voice modem device
07/09 19:03:10   voice open 'ttyACM0'
07/09 19:03:10   makelock(ttyACM0) called
07/09 19:03:10   do_makelock: lock='/var/lock/LCK..ttyACM0'
07/09 19:03:10   lock made
07/09 19:03:10  opened voice modem device /dev/ttyACM0

Other notes: 
"lockdev -l ttyACM0" and "lockdev -u ttyACM0" work from the commandline.

I have not built the source with the patch, but glancing it, it seems that it does not initialize the device_name parameter (see the log line "lock not made: dev_lock() failed: Success")

Comment 2 Michal Sekletar 2013-07-10 09:39:54 UTC
Thank you for the report. While implementing this functionality I had issues with not initialized devname parameter, however I put code into the main function which always initializes devname passed later on to lockdev API.

I will double check the patch, anyway thanks for the report. Will get back to you shortly.

Comment 3 Michal Sekletar 2013-07-11 16:09:07 UTC
I tried to reproduce the issue but mgetty locked device just fine. I started mgetty on ttyS0, connected to it and tried to run minicom on ttyS0 as well. Minicom refused to run and printed 'Device /dev/ttyS0 is locked.'

That being said, I think I know what is the issue here. I modified the patch in way which should work now for all tools (not only mgetty) which are using affected module (locks.c). I built new version for rawhide in koji. See [1] and find attached builds. Could you please verify that it works for you? Thanks.

Comment 4 Sarantis Paskalis 2013-07-12 12:37:52 UTC
I confirm that the build in comment #3  fixed the locking issue I reported.

Please release an update for Fedora 19 as well.

Thanks
