[PATCH] device-mapper cluster locking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch is the 2nd version of the cluster locking patch to be sent.
I've pared down the number of functions exported by the API.  There are
now 4 (hopefully) simple functions for managing the locks.

There is still testing (and a bit of clean-up) to be done.  However, I
think everything is in place - for example, tracking a lock's exclusive
access both when caching is and is not used.

[Mikulas, thanks for all your comments.  Hopefully, I've address your
API concerns with this iteration (like paring down the specification so
as not to bind myself in the future).  Concerning implementation
details, like how the DLM handles callbacks for cached locks - I haven't
looked into that.  I know it works, but I don't know the exact message
exchange system.  :)  Also, I haven't done anything yet (beyond
returning an error) for name collisions in the same lockspace.  I'm not
yet sure if that is more of an education problem or an implementation
problem.]

This patch introduces a cluster locking module for device-mapper
(and other) applications.  It provides nothing that you can't do
with the DLM (linux/fs/dlm).  It does try to provide a simpler
interface and expose a couple of the more powerful features of the
DLM in a simple way.  Features include:
- locking calls return 1, 0, or -EXXX; where '1' means that another
  node in the cluster has acquired the lock exclusively since the
  last time the lock was held locally.  This gives the user quick
  insight into whether any cached copies of the resource for which
  they are acquiring the lock need to be invalidated/updated.
- lock caching.  When allocating a cluster lock you can specify whether
  you want read locks or write locks cached (or both).  The release of
  cached, not-in-use locks is handled automatically.
