3.2.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 012572d4fc2e4ddd5c8ec8614d51414ec6cae02a upstream. The order of the following three spinlocks should be: dlm_domain_lock < dlm_ctxt->spinlock < dlm_lock_resource->spinlock But dlm_dispatch_assert_master() is called while holding dlm_ctxt->spinlock and dlm_lock_resource->spinlock, and then it calls dlm_grab() which will take dlm_domain_lock. Once another thread (for example, dlm_query_join_handler) has already taken dlm_domain_lock, and tries to take dlm_ctxt->spinlock deadlock happens.
