/*
 * Create the mtab lock file.
 *
 * The old code here used flock on a lock file /etc/mtab~ and deleted
 * this lock file afterwards. However, as rgooch remarks, that has a
 * race: a second mount may be waiting on the lock and proceed as
 * soon as the lock file is deleted by the first mount, and immediately
 * afterwards a third mount comes, creates a new /etc/mtab~, applies
 * flock to that, and also proceeds, so that the second and third mount
 * are now both scribbling in /etc/mtab.
 *
 * The new code uses a link() instead of a creat(), where we proceed
 * only if it was us that created the lock, and hence we always have
 * to delete the lock afterwards. Now the use of flock() is in principle
 * superfluous, but avoids an arbitrary sleep().
 *
 * Where does the link point to? Obvious choices are mtab and mtab~~.
 * HJLu points out that the latter leads to races. Right now we use
 * mtab~.pid instead.
 *
 *
 * The original mount locking code has used sleep(1) between attempts and
 * maximal number of attempts has been 5.
 *
 * There was a very small number of attempts and extremely long waiting (1s)
 * that is useless on machines with large number of mount processes.
 *
 * Now we wait for a few thousand microseconds between attempts and we have a global
 * time limit (30s) rather than a limit for the number of attempts. The advantage
 * is that this method also counts time which we spend in fcntl(F_SETLKW) and
 * the number of attempts is not restricted.
 * -- kzak@redhat.com [Mar-2007]
 *
 *
 * This mtab locking code has been refactored and moved to libmount. The mtab
 * locking is really not perfect (e.g. SIGALRM), but it's stable, reliable and
 * backwardly compatible code.
 *
 * Don't forget that this code has to be compatible with 3rd party mounts
 * (/sbin/mount.foo) and has to work with NFS.
