+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      POSIX says that closing a file descriptor removes
+      the <em>process</em>'s locks on that file
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      What if process has multiple file descriptors for the same
+      file?  It loses all locks obtained through any descriptor!
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Multithreaded processes may require serialisation around
+      file open/close to ensure they open each file exactly once
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Hard and symbolic links can hide that two files are really the
+      same
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Linux now provides file-private locks, associated with a
+      specific open file and removed when last descriptor for the
+      open file is closed
