The following case will lead to a lockres bieing freed while it is still in use. cat /sys/kernel/debug/o2dlm/locking_state dlm_thread lockres_seq_start -> lock dlm->track_lock -> get resA resA->refs decrease to 0, call dlm_lockres_release, and wait for "cat" unlock. Although resA->refs is already set to 0, increase resA->refs, and then unlock lock dlm->track_lock -> list_del_init() -> unlock -> free resA In such a race case, invalid address access may occurs. So we should delete list res->tracking before resA->refs decrease to 0.
