I suppose local node must be granted under the condition that it is 
marked with *OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED*. And the control flag 
_OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK_ will make lock progress directly return -EAGAIN 
without any waiting.

I thinks OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK doesn't conflict DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE, they are 
the forth and fifth argument respectively.

What do you mean by a fresh lock? A lock that is never granted or 
acquired? If a lock is marked with OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED, local node must 
has acquired it.
