Thanks for working on this, lock cancel has always been sketchy, and I'd
be happy to see that improved.  An 8000 line patch is going to be
difficult to review, though!  It looks like diff may just be moving a lot
of lines around, and perhaps splitting this up could avoid some of that?
Also, I'm not seeing which upstream commit the patch is against.

Thanks,
Dave
