I am using the latest cluster from RHEL4 branch. I have 2 node cluster: nodes A and B. Node A grabs a lock in the exclusive mode, node B waits for a membership change. I manually reset node A at which point node B gets the membership change notification and then tries to acquire the lock in the exclusive mode. At this point this operations locks forever. Once the node A is up DLM returns with the lock acquired for node B - as expected. However, if I shutdown node A instead of killing it then everything works as expected - Node B gets the notification and the successfully grabs the lock w/o locking up. It can be easily reproduced with dlmtest: grab the lock on one machine in EX mode (bof226), block on another for the same lock (bof227), kill the first machine - see that we never acquire lock on the second: 1) *** GRAB LOCK MY_RES (bof226) [root@bof226 usertest]# ./dlmtest -Q -m EX MY_RES -d 10000 locking MY_RES EX ...done (lkid = 1015e) lockinfo: status = 0 lockinfo: resource = 'MY_RES' lockinfo: grantcount = 1 lockinfo: convcount = 0 lockinfo: waitcount = 0 lockinfo: masternode = 1 lockinfo: lock: lkid = 1015e lockinfo: lock: master lkid = 0 lockinfo: lock: parent lkid = 0 lockinfo: lock: node = 1 lockinfo: lock: pid = 3771 lockinfo: lock: state = 2 lockinfo: lock: grmode = 5 lockinfo: lock: rqmode = 255 2) *** GRAB LOCK MY_RES (bof227) [root@bof227 usertest]# ./dlmtest -Q -m EX -d 10000 MY_RES locking MY_RES EX ... 3) *** KILL bof226 4) *** WAITING FOREVER 5) *** BOOTING UP bof226 results in lock acquired lockinfo: status = 0 lockinfo: resource = 'MY_RES' lockinfo: grantcount = 1 lockinfo: convcount = 0 lockinfo: waitcount = 0 lockinfo: masternode = 2 lockinfo: lock: lkid = 10312 lockinfo: lock: master lkid = 103eb lockinfo: lock: parent lkid = 0 lockinfo: lock: node = 2 lockinfo: lock: pid = 4136 lockinfo: lock: state = 2 lockinfo: lock: grmode = 5 lockinfo: lock: rqmode = 255 Has anybody else seen this? I was wondering if this is a bug or there is something special about 2-node clusters, or do I misunderstand how it supposed to work?
