I think we are mis-communicating here by talking about different
nuances. I agree with you that when an operation is sent there is no
way of knowing if in the mean while the server has decided to revoke
the delegation. However, this is not what I'm confused about regarding
your comment. I'm noticing that in the flow of operations, we send (1)
open with cur, then (2) lock, then (3) delegreturn. So I was confused
about how can we check return of delegreturn, step 3, if we are in
step 2.
I think the LOCK is safe if the reply to the LOCK is successful.
Let me just step back from this to note that your solution to "lost
locks during delegation" is to recognize the open with cure failure
and skip locking and delegreturn. I can work on a patch for that.
Do you agree that the state recovery should not be initiated in case
we get those errors?
