Actually my question is : Does POSIX specifies the fact that we need to use "lockf" to be able to do read/write operation in different offset ? Is'n the kernel supposed to ensure this ?
If you have non-overlapping writes, the kernel will eventually sort it out for you. If your writes overlap, you'll have to provide your own locking via lockf() or similar, and synchronization via other methods.
