Sounds like opportunistic locking (oplocks). When a client requests an
oplock, the server grants that client exclusive use of the file. The
client uses that "exclusive" permission to cache the file locally. (if a
second client requests the file, the server sends a message to the first
client to release the lock, in which case it has to write all changes to
the server and abandone the local cache.)
