I am trying to change the lock manager so read locks will not be granted
if there is a write-lock waiting for a lock. The following patch helps,
but is incomplete. Can someone figure out the right fix? I tried
putting this code inside LockResolveConflicts(), but that didn't work
either.

+ int myprio = ltable->ctl->prio[lockt];
+ PROC_QUEUE *waitQueue = &(lock->waitProcs);
+ PROC *topproc = (PROC *) MAKE_PTR(waitQueue->links.prev);
+
+ if (topproc && topproc->prio > myprio)
+ status = STATUS_FOUND;

if (status == STATUS_OK)
{
GrantLock(lock, lockt);
