[Linux-cluster] EAGAIN from dlm_lock: bug or feature?

Hi Patrick,

If dlm_lock collides with a lock mastered locally it returns EAGAIN and 
the ast is never called.  Is this a bug or a feature?  I see it as a 
bug because it forces me to handle the EAGAIN in two places to handle 
the same event, which is creeping cruft.  It is also sure to lead to 
bugs where a distributed program works perfectly until somebody runs 
two instances on the same host.

Regards,

Daniel
