If a layoutget ends up being reordered w.r.t. a layoutreturn, e.g. due to a layoutget-on-open not knowing a priori which file to lock, then we must assume the layout is no longer being considered valid state by the server. Incrementally improve our ability to reject such states by using the cached old stateid in conjunction with the plh_barrier to try to identify them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
