I have a 2 node cluster ( two HP DL360G7 servers) with a shared gfs2
file system located on an HP Modular Smart Array.
Node1 is the 'active' server and performs almost all gfs2 access.
Node2 is a 'passive' backup and rarely accesses the shared file system.
Both nodes are currently running kernel-PAE-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.i686.
I am aware of the kernel updates available in the RedHat 5.8 release
and have reviewed the change logs and associated bug reports, that I
have access to, to determine if the handful of gfs2 changes might
apply to this situation. They do not seem to apply but we plan on
upgrading our production servers when we can to rule out that
possibility.
Intermittently (3-4 times a month) the gfs2 file system appears to
lock up and any processes attempting to access it enter D state.
Networking continues to function and openais is happy so no fencing
occurs. Power cycling the passive node breaks the deadlock and
processing on the active node will continue.
During the last hang we ran the gfs2_hangalyzer tool, suggested in
some older threads on the deadlock subject, to capture the dlm and
glock info.
I can't find explanations on what some of the fields mean so I'm
hoping someone can help me interpret the results and confirm if my
understanding of the output is correct or offer suggestions on how to
proceed debugging further when it happens again. So far we can't come
up with a reproduction scenario.
I have attached the gfs2_hangalyzer summary output as hangalyzer.txt.
I have the raw lock data as well if required.
The tool reports that there are two glocks on which processes are
waiting but no other process holds them. So it looks like a deadlock,
since if no process owns them, they should have been released.
The tool also reports that the two glocks were granted to two process IDs.
This is an excerpt from the hangalyzer output:
--------------------------------------------
There are 2 glocks with waiters.
node1, pid 5380 is waiting for glock 2/85187, but no holder was found.
The dlm has granted lkb " 2 85187" to pid 5021

0 1 24 " 2 85187"
--------------------------------------------
As I understand this, on node1 the resource name "2 85187" is granted
(grnt) to process 5021 on node2 while process 5380 is in wait mode on
it.
At the same time, node2 sees that resource name "2 85187" is granted
(grnt) to process 5021 on node1.
On node1, process ID 5021 is [glock_workqueue].
>From 'ps axl':
1 0 5021 67 10 -5 0 0 worker S< ? 0:07
[glock_workqueue]
A similar thing occurs for resource name "2 81523".

--------------------------------------------
On node1 the resource "2 81523" is granted to process 5021 on node2,
while local process 5022 waits on it.
On node2, the lock appears to be granted to process 5029 from node1.
On node1, process ID 5029 is [delete_workqueu].
>From 'ps axl':
1 0 5029 67 10 -5 0 0 worker S< ? 0:00
[delete_workqueu]
Is my understanding of this output correct?
Is there more info I need to try and gather to diagnose the issue when
it happens again?
