Doesn't this give someone the false impression that their resource is
locked if they choose METADATA?

Something doesn't feel right about that - giving the impression that
it's supported and the consumer is protected, but when push comes to
shove they aren't.

I'd be inclined to believe that we may want to do nothing with/for
sanlock allowing the virCheckFlags above take care of the consumer.

Similar comment to patch4 w/r/t resource type (e.g. disk or lease), but
now at least it's more obvious to me that hasRWDisks means lock for disk
vs. not.

Still it's odd to think that returning 0, but not actually getting the
lock is the "right" thing to do. "Theoretically", if AddResource failed,
then would Acquire ever be called w/ this flag?

BTW:

Now that I think about them together...

  - lock_driver_lockd.h - extract from patch4 and merge to patch3. I
suppose it could be separate too to keep mgmt vs. space separate, but
they're related enough to keep them together. Perhaps this is where a
few more "words" about usage expectations as part of the commit message.

  - lock_daemon_dispatch.c - extract from patch4 and whether it goes
before or after is one of those chicken/egg type quandaries. Keeping it
with the fcntl/lockd as opposed to the sanlock implementation doesn't
feel right (even though sanlock doesn't use any LOCK_SPACE symbols).

I can be swayed otherwise... maybe someone else will pipe in.
