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.

This email is also sent to cluster-devel at redhat.com. Since this issue is about both dlm and ocfs2, I send the email here to look for help from upstream. This is an already known issue. on ocfs2 with user space cluster stack, run the test script from http://people.redhat.com/~teigland/make_panic on the mounted ocfs2 volume from 2 nodes simultaneously, the access to ocfs2 volume on both nodes

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]

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

There are two problems in dlm_run_purgelist 1. If a lockres is found to be in use, dlm_run_purgelist keeps trying to purge the same lockres instead of trying the next lockres. 2. When a lockres is found unused, dlm_run_purgelist releases lockres spinlock before setting DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF and calls dlm_purge_lockres. spinlock is reacquired but in this window lockres can get reused. This

Hi, I'm resending this patch series. It's rediffed against linux-next branch of Joel's git tree. The first four patches are obvious fixes of deadlocks in quota code and should go in as soon as possible. The other three patches implement lockdep support for OCFS2 cluster locks. So you can have a look whether the code make sence to you and possibly merge them. They should be NOP when

Ocfs2 supports exporting. PROBLEM: There are 2 problems (1) Current version of ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk the inode WITHOUT any cross cluster lock. This may lead to load a stale inode. (2) for deleting an inode, ocfs2_remove_inode() doesn't sync/checkpoint to disk. This also may lead ocfs2_get_dentry() from other node read out stale inode. PROBLEM DETAIL: for problem (1), For

Hi, here comes the next version of OCFS2 lockdep support. I've dropped patches with fixes from the series since they were already merged. As Joel suggested, I've simplified the main patch a bit so that we don't have ifdefs around lock declarations and there are also a few other minor improvements. Honza

Implemented the suggestions. Also, moved the ocfs2_orphan_scan_init() to the end of ocfs2_fill_super() instead of calling it earlier in ocfs2_initialize_super(). Sunil

Hi, the first four patches in this series fix locking problems in OCFS2 quota code (three of them can lead to potential deadlocks). The fifth patch reorders ip_alloc_sem for directories to be acquired before localalloc locks. Mark would you please merge these? The last two patches implement lockdep annotations for OCFS2 cluster locks. We annotate all the cluster locks except for special ones

On unlink, all nodes check for the dentry in dcache and if present they mark the node as unlinked. The last node that purges the inode will clean it from orphan directory. When there is a memory pressure, a dentry may not be around and hence the inode is not marked as deleted and this will lead the file to be in the orphan directory till the slot is re-used during next mount. This patch initiates

Resending after implementing review comments.

Patch 5 has been respun with the recommended change... remove the ex argument in ocfs2_orphan_scan_lock() and ocfs2_orphan_scan_unlock(). Sunil

Resending after adding another patch to display delayed orphan scan statistics.

Hi Joel/Srini, Here are 2 patches for orphan lock in local mode. patch 1: In local mode, we don't need lvb, so don't init it. patch 2: In local mode, orphan lock and unlock don't need to go to dlm part. Regards, Tao
