I'm not sure about this one.

The "unlocked" is meant to convey that it doesn't do any locking. The
caller has to be OK with that, or do its own locking.

Andrew is right that the common naming pattern is foo() that takes the
lock and __foo() that doesn't - but I agree that's not very pretty.

Can we just leave it as-is?

cheers
