109 	 * a lock on a file with no directory entry.  Then another
110 	 * process could come along and acquire the same lock.  To avoid
111 	 * this problem, we separate out the actions of waiting for the

113 	 *
114 	 * That approach produces behavior that is technically correct;

116 	 * locks that have a lot of contention.  First, it is unfair in
117 	 * the sense that a released lock isn't necessarily granted to
118 	 * the process that has been waiting the longest.  A waiter may
119 	 * be starved out indefinitely.  Second, it creates a thundering
120 	 * herd situation each time the lock is released.
121 	 *
122 	 * When the "-k" option is used, the unlink race no longer
123 	 * exists.  In that case we can block while acquiring the lock,
124 	 * avoiding the separate step of waiting for the lock.  This
