  • Add a function that can be used through libdlm by a system daemon to cancel
    another process's deadlocked lock. A completion ast with EDEADLK is returned
    to the process waiting for the lock.

  • Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm:
    - Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface. libdlm
    can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface.
    - Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible
    flags can be used from userspace.
    - Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock. This "transaction id" will be
    used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection.
    - Add a "timeout" value for each lock. This is used along with the
    DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag.

    Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read().

    This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with
    older kernels.

  • New features: lock timeouts and time warnings. If the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT
    flag is set, then the request/conversion will be canceled after waiting
    the specified number of centiseconds (specified per lock). This feature
    is only available for locks requested through libdlm (can be enabled for
    kernel dlm users if there's a use for it.)

    If the new DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN flag is set when creating the lockspace, then
    a warning message will be sent to userspace (using genetlink) after a
    request/conversion has been waiting for a given number of centiseconds
    (configurable per node). The time warnings will be used in the future
    to do deadlock detection in userspace.

  • Don't let dlm_scand run during recovery since it may try to do a resource
    directory removal while the directory nodes are changing.

  • Introduce new function dlm_dump_rsb() to call within assertions instead of
    dlm_print_rsb(). The new function dumps info about all locks on the rsb
    in addition to rsb details.

  • This changes the way the dlm handles user locks. The core dlm is now
    aware of user locks so they can be dealt with more efficiently. There is
    no more dlm_device module which previously managed its own duplicate copy
    of every user lock.

  • In dlm_grant_after_purge() we were holding a hash table read_lock while
    calling put_rsb() which potentially removes the rsb from the hash table,
    taking the same lock in write. Fix this by flagging rsb's ahead of time
    that have been purged. Then iteratively read_lock the hash table, find a
    flagged rsb, unlock, process rsb.

  • 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.
