David, So here are the two patches. Remove all patches that you have and apply these. The first one is straight forward. The second one will hopefully fix the livelock issue you have been encountering. People reviewing the patches should note that the second one is slightly different than the one I posted earlier. It removes the BUG_ON in the if condition where we jump to update_holders. The

Using fsdlm/ocfs2_controld.cman, I've rerun the test I've been having problems with on 2.6.30-rc1. After running for several minutes in the same directory on three nodes, the test hangs, and I collect the following information: bull-01 ------- 3053 S< [ocfs2dc] ocfs2_downconvert_thread 3054 S< [dlm_astd] dlm_astd 3055 S< [dlm_scand] dlm_scand 3056 S< [dlm_recv/0] worker_thread 3057 S< [dlm_recv/1] worker_thread 3058 S< [dlm_recv/2] worker_thread 3059 S< [dlm_recv/3]...

This patch plugs a race between the downconvert thread and an unlock ast message. Specifically, after the downconvert worker has done its task, the dc thread needs to check whether an unlock ast made the downconvert moot.

Mainline commit d4f7e650e55af6b235871126f747da88600e8040 attempts to delay the dlm_thread from sending the drop ref message if the lockres is being migrated. The problem is that we make the dlm_thread wait for the migration to complete. This causes a deadlock as dlm_thread also participates in the lockres migration process. A better fix for the original oss bugzilla#1012 is in testing.

The following series of patches comprises the bulk of our outstanding changes for Ocfs2. Aside from the usual set of cleanups and fixes that were inappropriate for 2.6.25, there are a few highlights: The '/sys/o2cb' directory has been moved to '/sys/fs/o2cb'. The new location meshes better with modern sysfs layout. A symbolic link has been placed in the old location so as to
