The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-dlm-fix-race-between-purge-and-get-lock-resource.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> 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); } } Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) diff -puN fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c~ocfs2-dlm-fix-race-between-purge-and-get-lock-resource fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c --- a/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c~ocfs2-dlm-fix-race-between-purge-and-get-lock-resource +++ a/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c @@ -757,6 +757,19 @@ lookup: if (tmpres) { spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock); spin_lock(&tmpres->spinlock); + + /* + * Right after dlm spinlock was released, dlm_thread could have + * purged the lockres.
