I haven't looked at your test to check if you're actually seeing this bug,
but you'll want this fix in any case:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/dlm/user.c?id=b96f465035f9fae83c1d8de3e80eecfe6877608c

In the following lvmlockd code, you can see an example of working around
that bug if you don't have immediate access to a newer kernel:

There are some other random userland tests here that use lvbs:
