[Ocfs2-devel] Pin the configfs items while cluster is active

[Ocfs2-devel] Pin the configfs items while cluster is active

[Sunil Mushran]

All,

This patch series is long over-due. configfs added the ability to pin items
in commit 631d1febab8e546e3bb800bdfe2c212b8adf87de (Jun 2007). The following
patches make use of it in the O2CB cluster stack to pin both the node and
heartbeat items.

This has been tested for both local and global heartbeat modes.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/5] ocfs2/cluster: Pin the remote node item in configfs

[Sunil Mushran]

o2net pins the node item of the remote node in configfs before initiating
the connection. It is unpinned on disconnect. This is to prevent the node
item from being unlinked while it is still in use.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 3/5] ocfs2/cluster: Pin/unpin o2hb regions

[Sunil Mushran]

This patch adds support for pinning o2hb regions in configfs. Pinning disallows
a region to be cleanly stopped as long as it has an active dependent user
(read o2dlm).

In local heartbeat mode, the region uuid matching the domain name is pinned as
long as the o2dlm domain is active.

In global heartbeat mode, all regions are pinned as long as there is atleast
one dependent user and the region count is 3 or less. All regions are unpinned
if the number of dependent users is zero or region count is greater than 3.
