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

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

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

Export initrd in debugfs when retained. As a side effect, initrd_start and initrd_end are not cleared when the initrd is retained. After this patch, one can then copy the initrd space from debugfs and pass it to kexec as the initrd, or do something else with it (maybe it was an initrd not an initramfs).

This patch adds freeze_fs()/unfreeze_fs() for ocfs2 so that it supports freeze/thaw.

Hello, is there a way to extract an initramfs from a running kernel? and from a kernel lying on a disk? If yes, how? Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

Trying to use klcc to compile an application I was getting gcc: no input files. Tracked it down to filename2lang having and extra space, causing .S files to be labeled "obj".

In ocfs2_file_aio_write, it does ocfs2_rw_lock first and then ocfs2_inode_lock. But if ocfs2_inode_lock failed, it goes to out_sems without unlocking rw lock. This will cause a bug in ocfs2_lock_res_free when testing res->l_ex_holders, which is increased in __ocfs2_cluster_lock and decreased in __ocfs2_cluster_unlock.

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

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

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

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

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

Next two patches are backport of orphan scan timer patches to ocfs2-1.4
