> Node A sends master query request to node B which is the master. At this time
> lockres happens to be on purgelist. dlm_master_request_handler gets the dlm
> spinlock, finds the resource and releases the dlm spin lock. Right at this
> dlm_thread on this node could purge the lockres. dlm_master_request_handler
> can then acquire lockres spinlock and reply to Node A that node B is the
> master even though lockres on node B is purged.
>
> The above scenario will now make node A falsely think node B is the master
> which is inconsistent. Further if another node C tries to master the same
> resource, every node will respond they are not the master. Node C then masters
> the resource and sends assert master to all nodes. This will now make node A
> crash with the following message.
>
> dlm_assert_master_handler:1831 ERROR: DIE! Mastery assert from 9, but current
> owner is 10!
