I am not sure I understand what you both are talking about here. Sergey, do
you mean 'fine-grained locking' as big critical sections covering a lot of
code at once or as many small critical sections?

I am confused because of this sentence. "Cover everything we don't know" is
rather opposite to fine-grained locking. I voted for big locks because
apparently it was too hard to implement smaller more precise locks.

Yes. I remember the proposal was to lock entire promote/demote and other
qsync/raft functions from beginning to end. Because it should be relatively
easy. I didn't look at the code in this patch though, can't comment it.
