This question came up as I was going through our layout stateid code.

Can the client send multiple LAYOUTGETs in parallel before getting a
layoutstateid by using an open stateid?
If so, what is the server response?  The spec is not clear, but I
would assume it would do one of:
a) returning an error (what error?) on all but the first LAYOUTGET it sees
b) matching the openstateid to the layoutstateid it has already given
out and sending a reply with that stateid and a bumped seqid
