2011-03-10dlm: record full callback stateDavid 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 <teigland@redhat.com>
2010-02-24dlm: fix ordering of bast and castDavid 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 <teigland@redhat.com>
2008-12-23dlm: improve how bast mode handlingDavid 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 <teigland@redhat.com>
2008-08-28dlm: detect available userspace daemonDavid Teigland
If dlm_controld (the userspace daemon that controls the setup and recovery of the dlm) fails, the kernel should shut down the lockspaces in the kernel rather than leaving them running. This is detected by having dlm_controld hold a misc device open while running, and if the kernel detects a close while the daemon is still needed, it stops the lockspaces in the kernel. Knowing that the userspace daemon isn't running also allows the lockspace create/remove routines to avoid waiting on the daemon for join/leave operations.

2008-08-28dlm: allow multiple lockspace createsDavid Teigland
Add a count for lockspace create and release so that create can be called multiple times to use the lockspace from different places. Also add the new flag DLM_LSFL_NEWEXCL to create a lockspace with the previous behavior of returning -EEXIST if the lockspace already exists. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@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.
