Hm, also: "The FREE_STATEID operation is used to free a stateid that no longer has any associated locks (including opens, byte-range locks, delegations, and layouts)" So an open stateid also shouldn't be freeable as long as there are opens associated with it. Also I guess a client shouldn't be permitted to free a delegation that it still holds. That means we'll always just return nfserr_locks for delegation stateid's. I assume free_stateid is only useful in this case for the case where a server forcibly revokes part of the client's state and leaves some "stub" stateid's around in place of the revoked ones. --b.
