krbd exclusive locking¶
Summary
Exclusive locking allows rbd to ensure that only one client updates an rbd image at time, to preserve metadata consistency.
This is a building block for other rbd features like object map and journalling, and provides a bit of extra safety in case a supposedly dead client reconnects.
