2008-02-04dlm: dlm_process_incoming_buffer() fixesAl Viro
* 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 Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2008-01-30dlm: keep cached master rsbs during recoveryDavid Teigland
To prevent the master of an rsb from changing rapidly, an unused rsb is kept on the "toss list" for a period of time to be reused. The toss list was being cleared completely for each recovery, which is unnecessary. Much of the benefit of the toss list can be maintained if nodes keep rsb's in their toss list that they are the master of. These rsb's need to be included when the resource directory is rebuilt during recovery. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2007-10-10[DLM] block dlm_recv in recovery transitionDavid Teigland
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. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[DLM] canceling deadlocked lockDavid Teigland
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. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09[DLM] dlm_device interface changes [3/6]David Teigland
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.

2007-07-09[DLM] add lock timeouts and warnings [2/6]David Teigland
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. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Don't let dlm_scand run during recovery since it may try to do a resource directory removal while the directory nodes are changing. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-08-21[DLM] dump rsb and locks on assertDavid Teigland
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. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-07-13[DLM] dlm: user locksDavid Teigland
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.

2006-05-02[DLM] fix grant_after_purge softlockupDavid Teigland
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.

2006-01-18[DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVMDavid 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.
