query about a split-brain problem found in glusterfs3.12.3

["Zhou, Cynthia (NSB - CN/Hangzhou)" <cynthia.zhou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi glusterfs expert:

       Good day.

       Lately, we meet a glusterfs split brain problem in our env in /mnt/export/testdir. We start 3 ior process (IOR tool) from non-sn nodes, which is creating/removing files repeatedly in testdir. then we reboot sn nodes(sn0 and sn1) by sequence. Then we meet following problem.

    Do you have some comments on how this could happen? And how to fix it in this situation? Thanks!
