// Package lisafs (LInux SAndbox FileSystem) defines the protocol for
// filesystem RPCs between an untrusted Sandbox (client) and a trusted
// filesystem server.
//
// Lock ordering:
//
// Server.renameMu
// Node.opMu
// Node.childrenMu
// Node.controlFDsMu
//
// Locking rules:
// - Node.childrenMu can be simultaneously held on multiple nodes, ancestors
// before descendants.
// - Node.opMu can be simultaneously held on multiple nodes, ancestors before
// descendants.
// - Node.opMu can be simultaneously held on two nodes that do not have an
// ancestor-descendant relationship. One node must be an internal (directory)
// node and the other a leaf (non-directory) node. Directory must be locked
// before non-directories.
// - "Ancestors before descendants" requires that Server.renameMu is locked to
// ensure that this ordering remains satisfied.
