Hi, I'm trying to use the DLM independently to acquire locks in the ext2 code. I'm calling the functions that refresh the kernel data structures in the AST after taking the locks. I'd like to know how to find out when this AST has been called, ie when do I know the final result of the locking so as to proceed in the ext2 function. I can see a completion structure in the holder structure in the glock layer. Is that what performs this task in the gfs? Thanks Renuka. ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Caulfield <pcaulfie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, February 20, 2006 2:33 pm Subject: Re: Synchronous Locking Function for Kernel > renapte@xxxxxxxx wrote: > > Hi, > > I'd like to know if there is any Synchronous Locking Function in > the DLM that can be used in the kernel. > > Thanks in advance, > > No there isn't at the moment.
