Well, I missed it the first time because I was very quick to jump to
the with-rw test.  Then Amitay and I sat down, took our time and
made sure we understood everything...  ;-)

Running ping_pong on 1 node gave an astronomical lock rate, like:

 1951653 locks/sec

Running on a 2nd node gave the same rate, with no reduction on the 1st.

Running 2 ping_pongs on the same node resulted in a significant drop
in the lock rate.

So this confirmed that OCFS2 has a lock coherence problem across
nodes.

Note that I haven't tried anything to resolve this situation.  I
have no DLM running or anything so I expected this problem, given that
Richard had to do a lot more in his tests to resolve this issue.

peace & happiness,
martin
