2007-02-05[DLM] fix old rcom messagesDavid Teigland
A reply to a recovery message will often be received after the relevant recovery sequence has aborted and the next recovery sequence has begun. We need to ignore replies to these old messages from the previous recovery. There's already a way to do this for synchronous recovery requests using the rc_id number, but not for async. Each recovery sequence already has a locally unique sequence number associated with it. This patch adds a field to the rcom (recovery message) structure where this recovery sequence number can be placed, rc_seq. When a node sends a reply to a recovery request, it copies the rc_seq number it received into rc_seq_reply. When the first node receives the reply to its recovery message, it will check whether rc_seq_reply matches the current recovery sequence number, ls_recover_seq, and if not then it ignores the old reply. An old, inadequate approach to filtering out old replies (checking if the current stage of recovery has moved back to the start) has been removed from two spots. The protocol version number is changed to reflect the different rcom structures. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2006-01-18[DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVMDavid Teigland
This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either of these two projects. It implements VAX-style locking modes.
