From 307c6c27d5de3b44965cdba2a69e1d5f922a01c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Qi Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2015 14:59:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2/dlm: fix deadlock when dispatch assert master commit 012572d4fc2e4ddd5c8ec8614d51414ec6cae02a upstream. The order of the following three spinlocks should be: dlm_domain_lock < dlm_ctxt->spinlock < dlm_lock_resource->spinlock But dlm_dispatch_assert_master() is called while holding dlm_ctxt->spinlock and dlm_lock_resource->spinlock, and then it calls dlm_grab() which will take dlm_domain_lock. Once another thread (for example, dlm_query_join_handler) has already taken dlm_domain_lock, and tries to take dlm_ctxt->spinlock deadlock happens.
