+ * We store the NONE, READ, WRITE, and BOTH bits separately in the
+ * st_{access,deny}_bmap field of the stateid, in order to track not
+ * only what share bits are currently in force, but also what
+ * combinations of share bits previous opens have used. This allows us
+ * to enforce the recommendation of rfc 3530 14.2.19 that the server
+ * return an error if the client attempt to downgrade to a combination
+ * of share bits not explicable by closing some of its previous opens.
+ *
+ * XXX: This enforcement is actually incomplete, since we don't keep
+ * track of access/deny bit combinations; so, e.g., we allow:
+ *
+ * OPEN allow read, deny write
+ * OPEN allow both, deny none
+ * DOWNGRADE allow read, deny none
+ *
+ * which we should reject.
