+ * Flags to dlm_lock
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE
+ *
+ * Do not queue the lock request on the wait queue if it cannot be granted
+ * immediately.  If the lock cannot be granted because of this flag, DLM will
+ * either return -EAGAIN from the dlm_lock call or will return 0 from
+ * dlm_lock and -EAGAIN in the lock status block when the AST is executed.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_CANCEL
+ *
+ * Used to cancel a pending lock request or conversion.  A converting lock is
+ * returned to its previously granted mode.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_CONVERT
+ *
+ * Indicates a lock conversion request.  For conversions the name and namelen
+ * are ignored and the lock ID in the LKSB is used to identify the lock.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_VALBLK
+ *
+ * Requests DLM to return the current contents of the lock value block in the
+ * lock status block.  When this flag is set in a lock conversion from PW or EX
+ * modes, DLM assigns the value specified in the lock status block to the lock
+ * value block of the lock resource.  The LVB is a DLM_LVB_LEN size array
+ * containing application-specific information.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_QUECVT
+ *
+ * Force a conversion request to be queued, even if it is compatible with
+ * the granted modes of other locks on the same resource.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_IVVALBLK
+ *
+ * Invalidate the lock value block.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK
+ *
+ * Allows the dlm to resolve conversion deadlocks internally by demoting the
+ * granted mode of a converting lock to NL.  The DLM_SBF_DEMOTED flag is
+ * returned for a conversion that's been effected by this.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_PERSISTENT
+ *
+ * Only relevant to locks originating in userspace.  A persistent lock will not
+ * be removed if the process holding the lock exits.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT
+ *
+ * Do not cancel the lock if it gets into conversion deadlock.
+ * Exclude this lock from being monitored due to DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_NODLCKBLK
+ *
+ * net yet implemented
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_EXPEDITE
+ *
+ * Used only with new requests for NL mode locks.  Tells the lock manager
+ * to grant the lock, ignoring other locks in convert and wait queues.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_NOQUEUEBAST
+ *
+ * Send blocking AST's before returning -EAGAIN to the caller.  It is only
+ * used along with the NOQUEUE flag.  Blocking AST's are not sent for failed
+ * NOQUEUE requests otherwise.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_HEADQUE
+ *
+ * Add a lock to the head of the convert or wait queue rather than the tail.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_NOORDER
+ *
+ * Disregard the standard grant order rules and grant a lock as soon as it
+ * is compatible with other granted locks.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_ORPHAN
+ *
+ * not yet implemented
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_ALTPR
+ *
+ * If the requested mode cannot be granted immediately, try to grant the lock
+ * in PR mode instead.  If this alternate mode is granted instead of the
+ * requested mode, DLM_SBF_ALTMODE is returned in the lksb.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_ALTCW
+ *
+ * The same as ALTPR, but the alternate mode is CW.
+ *
+ * DLM_LKF_FORCEUNLOCK
+ *
+ * Unlock the lock even if it is converting or waiting or has sublocks.
+ * Only really for use by the userland device.c code.
