Some of the latter paragraphs seem ambiguous and just plain wrong. In particular the break_lease comment makes no sense. We call break_lease (and break_deleg) from all sorts of vfs-layer functions, so there is clearly such a method. Also get rid of some of the other comments about what's needed for a full implementation.
