Obviously, test-and-set is easier when you're talking about local memory and stuff. But there's no test-and-set over (say) NFS, and hence locking is messy there.
Huh? That's not true. NFS has locking. The *Linux* implementation of NFS for a long time didn't have locking.
Don't confuse the brokenness of Linux with the brokenness of NFS. NFS has lots of faults. Lack of locking was not one of them.
