H A Dlocks.cdiff f9ffed26d6f3e6ac9988947242821579d615fda7 Tue Nov 14 21:51:40 CET 2006 J. Bruce Fields <bfields@fieldses.org> locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases

Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed
filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly
interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which
case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations
correctly.

Also add some documentation.
