The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: fix race between mount and delete node/cluster has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-fix-race-between-mount-and-delete-node-cluster.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: fix race between mount and delete node/cluster There is a race case between mount and delete node/cluster, which will lead o2hb_thread to malfunctioning dead loop. o2hb_thread { o2nm_depend_this_node(); <<<<<< race window, node may have already been deleted, and then enter the loop, o2hb thread will be malfunctioning because of no configured nodes found. while (!kthread_should_stop() && !reg->hr_unclean_stop && !reg->hr_aborted_start) { } So check the return value of o2nm_depend_this_node() is needed. If node has been deleted, do not enter the loop and let mount fail.
