From b11f1f1ab73fd358b1b734a9427744802202ba68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wengang Wang Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:18:00 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2/dlm: remove potential deadlock -V3 When we need to take both dlm_domain_lock and dlm->spinlock, we should take them in order of: dlm_domain_lock then dlm->spinlock. There is pathes disobey this order. That is calling dlm_lockres_put() with dlm->spinlock held in dlm_run_purge_list. dlm_lockres_put() calls dlm_put() at the ref and dlm_put() locks on dlm_domain_lock. Fix: Don't grab/put the dlm when the initialising/releasing lockres. That grab is not required because we don't call dlm_unregister_domain() based on refcount.
