Instead of creating our own kthread (dlm_astd) to deliver
callbacks for all lockspaces, use a per-lockspace workqueue
to deliver the callbacks. This eliminates complications and
slowdowns from many lockspaces sharing the same thread.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

Change how callbacks are recorded for locks. Previously, information
about multiple callbacks was combined into a couple of variables that
indicated what the end result should be. In some situations, we
could not tell from this combined state what the exact sequence of
callbacks were, and would end up either delivering the callbacks in
the wrong order, or suppress redundant callbacks incorrectly. This
new approach records all the data for each callback, leaving no
uncertainty about what needs to be delivered.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock,
the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first.
In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the
cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps
track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them
in that order.This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast
and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible
with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered
lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues
a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way
a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit
bast extraneous.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

The lkb bastmode value is set in the context of processing the
lock, and read by the dlm_astd thread. Because it's accessed
in these two separate contexts, the writing/reading ought to
be done under a lock. This is simple to do by setting it and
reading it when the lkb is added to and removed from dlm_astd's
callback list which is properly locked.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

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.
