I have some questions regarding this feature implementation:

  • when a locking SC should be virtualized? Always, in some cases (and what would these be?), ...
  • how can we define such cases? Using a system like vufs to virtualize only the locking SCs which use a file descriptor of a file in the virtualized tree?
  • what locking SCs should be virtualized? All, just the ones that shouldn't be allowed, ... ?
  • where does the code should be placed? In a (sub)module, as part of VUOS, ... ?

These are the first questions that come to mind when thinking about this feature.
I'd be happy to at least write a first implementation for this functionality but I need more info about it and some tips on how to start.
