From 58e9fee13e579df44922172dbe3c9e3ba3edf7a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:52:52 -0500 Subject: [GFS2] Invalidate cache at correct point GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems. This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2 manually drops the lock and reacquires it.
