  • Use ls_allocation for memory allocations, which a cluster fs sets to
    GFP_NOFS. Use GFP_NOFS for allocations when no lockspace struct is
    available. Taking dlm locks needs to avoid calling back into the
    cluster fs because write-out can require taking dlm locks.

  • * check that length is large enough to cover the non-variable part of message or
    rcom resp. (after checking that it's large enough to cover the header, of
    course).

    * kill more pointless casts

  • 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.

  • Add a "ci_" prefix to the fields in the dlm_config_info struct so that we
    can use macros to add configfs functions to access them (in a later
    patch). No functional changes in this patch, just naming changes.

  • 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.
