>From the language of rfc3530 section 8.1.3 (e.g., the suggestion that a "process id" might be a reasonable lockowner value) it's conceivable that a client might want to use the same lockowner string on multiple files, so we may as well allow that. We expect each use of open_to_lockowner to create a distinct seqid stream, though. For now we're also allowing multiple uses of open_to_lockowner with the same open, though it seems unlikely clients would actually do that. Also add a comment reminding myself of some very non-scalable data structures. Signed-off-by: J.
