For reasons that I listed in a private post I think
that my patch presented in this thread is closer to
our goals than your patch (2013/6/17/319). Timing is
important as well since we are approaching the lk 3.13
merge window. Regressions are what will set us back.

Yes, I agree with you. My v2 patch lacks much consideration on release/detach cases, which is a very significant issue we should address along with o_excl bug.

Thanks,
Vaughan
