The IBM book is book two of the three textbooks on database engineering that IBM published. I will try to dig out a reference for it, but that should be sufficient information to find it. Dave Hefner, the guy who introduced me to the idea, is a Microsoft Employee now, and he took his books with him. The book was available in the bookstores at the University of Utah and at BYU, as a CS class requirement. At one time we were getting two orders of magnitude in terms of lock system transactions over the AT&T Tuxedo product. The only real documents I know about that describe an OS subsystem implementation (for a hosted OS) are the NetWare for UNIX Server design documents. These were released to a large number of OEM's; I don't know if this constitutes a "select group" or "publication" (OEM's are self-selected, so hence the confusion). Dave is the guy at Novell who did the design and much of the implementation for the NWU 4.x lock manager.
