Current lockd code appears to reject regular locks done during the grace

(That's based on inspecting the code--I haven't run tests.)
That seems like an obvious bug. (We're not giving the client any way to
determine whether conflicting locks might have been granted.)
Can we fix it, or is there a chance that people have been depending on
this behavior? (Maybe for failing over to an already-active server??)
Sorry, but I really don't care if anyone has been relying on it: that is
a _major_ bug and needs to be fixed ASAP.
OK, good, I'll do some tests to confirm and then submit a patch.
I can't disagree - but do prepare people start to ask why after kernel
version 2.6.x, they have to extend grace period to get NFS locking works
