Well, I would say that we are almost there.
I'm a bit confused about lf_count_adjust() ... why is it changing
the newowner pointer? Maybe you meant newowner->ui_posixlocks +=
instead of newowner += ?
lf_count_increment() is still entanged with the resource check.
lf_count_increment() should be integrated with or called from
the allocation code, and the resource check should be done
separately. lf_count_decrement() should be integrated with the
structure freeing code. When you have the increment/decrement
disconnected the way it is in the patch, chances are very high that
bugs will creep in.
