Subject: ocfs2: dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource
There is a race window in dlm_get_lock_resource(), which may return a lock
resource which has been purged. This will cause the process to hang
forever in dlmlock() as the ast msg can't be handled due to its lock
resource not existing.
dlm_get_lock_resource {
...
spin_lock(&dlm->spinlock);
tmpres = __dlm_lookup_lockres_full(dlm, lockid, namelen, hash);
if (tmpres) {
spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock);
>>>>>>>> race window, dlm_run_purge_list() may run and purge
the lock resource
spin_lock(&tmpres->spinlock);
...
spin_unlock(&tmpres->spinlock);
}
}
