Hey Maxim,

It is, without this change proxy_cache_lock basically serializes
access to the upstream.

> In particular, because "uncacheable" is a property of a response, not URLs.

That's nitpicking, but you're right, I should have used "cache key",
not "URL", but that only applies to the commit message and not the
code.

Regarding the code, the "uncacheable" flag is only set for a
particular cache key after nginx receives uncacheable response for it
and it's only used to skip the cache lock on subsequent requests for
the same cache key, not to determine cacheability of the response.

Nothing changes when proxy_cache_lock isn't configured, nothing
changes for a cache key that didn't receive any response yet and
nothing changes for a cache key that received cacheable response.

What exactly isn't right?

Best regards,
Piotr Sikora
