Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for managing file locks, including initiating, by a processing device executing a kernel, executions of a number of active tasks that each has acquired a respective lock to a record, and in response to release of a first lock to the record by an active task, waking up a previously-designated worker task out of a number of idle tasks, in which the worker task is to attempt an acquisition of a second lock on behalf of at least one remaining task of the idle tasks.
