* dlm: use proper C for dlm/requestqueue stuff (and fix alignment bug)Al Viro2008-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | a) don't cast the pointer to dlm_header *, we use it as dlm_message * anyway. b) we copy the message into a queue element, then pass the pointer to copy to dlm_receive_message_saved(); declare it properly to make sure that we have the right alignment.

* [DLM] block dlm_recv in recovery transitionDavid Teigland2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a per-lockspace rwsem that's held in read mode by dlm_recv threads while working in the dlm. This allows dlm_recv activity to be suspended when the lockspace transitions to, from and between recovery cycles. The specific bug prompting this change is one where an in-progress recovery cycle is aborted by a new recovery cycle. While dlm_recv was processing a recovery message, the recovery cycle was aborted and dlm_recoverd began cleaning up. dlm_recv decremented recover_locks_count on an rsb after dlm_recoverd had reset it to zero. This is fixed by suspending dlm_recv (taking write lock on the rwsem) before aborting the current recovery. The transitions to/from normal and recovery modes are simplified by using this new ability to block dlm_recv. The switch from normal to recovery mode means dlm_recv goes from processing locking messages, to saving them for later, and vice versa. Races are avoided by blocking dlm_recv when setting the flag that switches between modes. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [DLM] fix requestqueue raceDavid Teigland2006-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Red Hat BZ 211914 There's a race between dlm_recoverd (1) enabling locking and (2) clearing out the requestqueue, and dlm_recvd (1) checking if locking is enabled and (2) adding a message to the requestqueue. An order of recoverd(1), recvd(1), recvd(2), recoverd(2) will result in a message being left on the requestqueue. The fix is to have dlm_recvd check if dlm_recoverd has enabled locking after taking the mutex for the requestqueue and if it has processing the message instead of queueing it.

* [DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVMDavid Teigland2006-01-18
This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either of these two projects. It implements VAX-style locking modes.
