AFS_GLOCK is intended to prevent smp concurrency (and preemption). It also provides mutual exclusion for ObtainXXXLock. AFS_GLOCK is dropped almost any time the cache manager is going to sleep.
So the cross-platform AFS kernel code assumes a uniprocessor, non-preemptive kernel, and AFS_GLOCK() is used so that the actual kernel environment conforms to this? Okay, that makes sense now.
