Use "Open file description locks" when available (i.e. Linux 3.15 and later)
This variation on fcntl() record-locks resolves multiple-thread / forking issue with region locks. No longer falls back to using flock() (whole-file locks), when OFD locks are available and used successfully. At the least, this should provide a performance boost for shared files using region locks (on Linux). No change for Windows (region locks already worked sanely among multiple threads) and other *nixes (that use POSIX fcntl() locks only).
