/*
 * Non-blocking Locking API
 *
 * 1. Create a child process to do blocking locks.
 * 2. Once the locks are obtained, signal parent process via fd.
 * 3. Invoke registered callback routine with locking status.
 * 4. If the child process cannot get locks within certain time,
 *    execute an external script to debug.
 *
 * ctdb_lock_record()      - get a lock on a record
 * ctdb_lock_db()          - get a lock on a DB
 * ctdb_lock_alldb_prio()  - get a lock on all DBs with given priority
 * ctdb_lock_alldb()       - get a lock on all DBs
 *
 *  auto_mark              - whether to mark/unmark DBs in before/after callback
 *                           = false is used for freezing databases for
 *                           recovery since the recovery cannot start till
 *                           databases are locked on all the nodes.
 *                           = true is used for record locks.
