interrupt a blocking lock(F_SETLKW)
Hi all,

I use F_SETLKW to lock a file or keep waiting. How can I interrupt the blocking lock after waiting for a period? I want to add an argument to let user set waiting time. Maybe I can use non-blocking lock(F_SETLK) and a loop to check it. But it may consume too many resources. Any idea?Smilie

p.s: C/C++, LINUX platform

Thanks,
Marco Chen
