That is ok, then LOCK_TYPE_RECURSIVE has to be 3 such that
LOCK_TYPE_RECURSIVE & LOCK_TYPE_READ != 0. I thought to do this in the
first place without assuming. Anyway, it is better to know.
And I guess in a task:
(1) read(X);
recursive_read(x); /* this is ok ? */
(2) recursive_read(x);
read(x) /* not ok ? */
Either way, very small change may need to be made.
