I forgot to mention that this is probably not a serious issue right now, since most
extant clients (FreeBSD and Linux I think?) always do Opens with
OPEN_SHARE_DENY_NONE.
The only current client I am aware of that does OPEN_SHARE_DENY_xx other than
NONE is the ESXi 6.5 client. Btw, this client has serious issues that I might post here, so the Linux server maintainers are aware of them.
