Don't you also need to ensure that backing files in the chain are marked
readonly regardless of the setting on the active layer?

Oh, I see - on the lock manager, we are currently only ever locking the
active image.  Hmm, I wonder if this is actually correct in the presence
of snapshots - are we leaving a file locked when it becomes the backing
element of a new file due to an external snapshot?

We may have pre-existing bugs (while I know I got SELinux and cgroup
issues sorted out in my testing, I haven't personally played much with
the lease manager at the same time as playing with snapshots).  But as
far as I can tell, this patch makes no semantic difference, so it is no
worse than what we already had.  Therefore,

ACK
