Hi,

what exactly is the locking /concurrency control mechanism used in
NFS to prevent simultaneous updates in NFS ?

There is no need. If the updates are simultaneous, then neither is
"more recent" than the other. So it doesn't matter. It only matters if
a less recent update overwrites a more recent update.
