Subject: I found the lock related email

Ok, I found the email related to locking and it refers to the stateid as
referring to the "set of locks held by a given lockowner for a file".

Does that sound right? (This implies that my code is close, but needs to
change slightly for the case of the same owner holding multiple locks
on the same file.)

It also hints that the seqid# in the stateid is used to reflect a change
of stateid. This suggests that it is not used for operation ordering?
(I also have trouble seeing when a stateid would change. Is it to change
 via incrementing the seqid# in it whenever a lock is added/deleted/changed
 for that <lockowner,file>?)

Sorry to bother you with this stuff, but I'm still confused. (And appologies
for posting the last message before I found the email from last year, which
had some answers in it.)

Thanks again for any help, rick
