There is a race window between dlmconvert_remote and dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list, which will cause a lock with OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY in grant list, thus system hangs. dlmconvert_remote { spin_lock(&res->spinlock); list_move_tail(&lock->list, &res->converting); lock->convert_pending = 1; spin_unlock(&res->spinlock); status = dlm_send_remote_convert_request(); >>>>>> race window, master has queued ast and return DLM_NORMAL, and then down before sending ast. this node detects master down and calls dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list, which will revert the lock to grant list. Then OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY won't be cleared as new master won't send ast any more because it thinks already be authorized. spin_lock(&res->spinlock); lock->convert_pending = 0; if (status != DLM_NORMAL) dlm_revert_pending_convert(res, lock); spin_unlock(&res->spinlock); } In this case, check if res->state has DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING bit set (res is still in recovering) or res master changed (new master has finished recovery), reset the status to DLM_RECOVERING, then it will retry convert.
