I've been feeling the same way. This is why I was leaning toward a new lease
type. I called it "F_LONGTERM" but the name is not important.
I think the concept of adding "exclusive" to the layout lease can fix this
because the NFS lease is non-exclusive where the user space one (for the
purpose of GUP pinning) would need to be.
FWIW I have not worked out exactly what this new "exclusive" code will look
like. Jan said:
"There actually is support for locks that are not broken after given
timeout so there shouldn't be too many changes need."
But I'm not seeing that for Lease code. So I'm working on something for the
lease code now.
