From 096b2ef83c87d7a7e0d2838f7f1391c74fdad0e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xue jiufei Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:00:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: dlmlock_master() should return DLM_NORMAL after adding lock to blocked list dlmlock_master() returns DLM_RECOVERING/DLM_MIGRATING/ DLM_FORWAR after adding lock to blocked list if lockres has the state DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING/DLM_LOCK_RES_MIGRATING/ DLM_LOCK_RES_IN_PROGRESS. so it will retry in dlmlock(). And this may cause dlm_thread fall into an infinite loop Thread1 dlm_thread calls dlm_lock->dlmlock_master, if lockresA is in state DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING, calls __dlm_wait_on_lockres() and waits until others threads clear this state; If cannot grant this lock, adding lock to blocked list, and return DLM_RECOVERING; Grant this lock and move it to grant list; After a while, retry and calls list_add_tail(), adding lock to blocked list again. Granted and blocked list of this lockres will become the following conditions: lock_res->granted.next = dlm_lock->list_head; lock_res->blocked.next = dlm_lock->list_head; dlm_lock->list_head.next = dlm_lock_resource->blocked; When dlm_thread traverses the granted list, it will fall into an endless loop, checking dlm_lock.list_head, dlm_lock->list_head.next (i.e.lock_res->blocked), lock_res->blocked.next(i.e.dlm_lock.list_head again) .....
