2007-05-01[DLM] Don't delete misc device if lockspace removal failsPatrick Caulfield
Currently if the lockspace removal fails the misc device associated with a lockspace is left deleted. After that there is no way to access the orphaned lockspace from userland. This patch recreates the misc device if th dlm_release_lockspace fails. I believe this is better than attempting to remove the lockspace first because that leaves an unattached device lying around. The potential gap in which there is no access to the lockspace between removing the misc device and recreating it is acceptable ... after all the application is trying to remove it, and only new users of the lockspace will be affected.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 6Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2007-02-05[DLM] fix user unlockingDavid Teigland
When a user process exits, we clear all the locks it holds. There is a problem, though, with locks that the process had begun unlocking before it exited. We couldn't find the lkb's that were in the process of being unlocked remotely, to flag that they are DEAD. To solve this, we move lkb's being unlocked onto a new list in the per-process structure that tracks what locks the process is holding. We can then go through this list to flag the necessary lkb's when clearing locks for a process when it exits.

2006-08-31[DLM] force removal of user lockspaceDavid Teigland
Check if the FORCEFREE flag has been provided from user space. If so, set the force option to dlm_release_lockspace() so that any remaining locks will be freed. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

User NOQUEUE lock requests to a remote node that failed with -EAGAIN were never being removed from a process's list of locks. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2006-07-13[DLM] dlm: user locksDavid Teigland
This changes the way the dlm handles user locks. The core dlm is now aware of user locks so they can be dealt with more efficiently. There is no more dlm_device module which previously managed its own duplicate copy of every user lock.
