This patch still needs changelog summarizing the problem and what is
being fixed by the patch.  Most of what's in the cover letter belongs
here.

The cover letter can be used to describe the history/background that you
don't want in the patch itself.  Alternatviely, you could include that
information in the a single patch email also because everything after
the "---" line does not end up in git history.

I'm confused about what this lock is intended to do.  You init it here,
but it's never used anywhere.
