These traces really do not mesh with what I'm seeing using a simple
Connectathon lock test run. When I look at the wireshark output from
that, I see exadtly two cases where the stateid arguments are both
zero, and those are both SETATTR, so expected.

All the LOCKU are showing up as non-zero stateids, and so I'm seeing no
BAD_STATEID or OLD_STATEID errors at all.

Is there something special about how your test is running?

Cheers

PS: Note: I do think I need a v3 of the LOCKU patch in order to add a
spinlock around the new copy of the lock stateid in
nfs4_alloc_unlockdata(). However I don't see how the missing spinlocks
could cause you to consistently be seeing an all-zero stateid argument.
