hi Avati,
In entry self-heal of a directory, for every new file that is created, data/metadata changelogs are marked on the source file to indicate pending data/metadata self-heal from source file to the new file that is created as part of this self-heal. But this data/metadata changelogs are marked without taking any inodelks on the file. I remember us having a discussion about this a while back but don't remember reaching any conclusion as to why it is done this way. Could you let us know if it is a possible bug that needs to be fixed?
I think the conclusion was to mark the newly created file with self-pending attributes (set via xdata as part of the create fop itself). Does that ring a bell?
