While searching through the source code I came upon docs/LUKS-locking.txt.

From previous discussions on this list I understood the locking to be only
for protection against concurrent user access.  This is how I wrote the FAQ
entry that is now in the docs.

From this new-to-me doc it seems that locking is to also prevent header
corruption.  I am surprised no one pointed this out in discussions so there
is a chance I may be misunderstanding.

Specifically, this was in a discussion about --disable-locks.  Am I correct
in stating:

Using --disable-locks I risk
* concurrent user access problems
*  header corruption
