dead code question

[Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Another question regarding the cluster code. This one was introduced
with:

commit d15a1f72bd92bc4724ee94b2ae8132633ffeb72b

    Safeguard against writing to an active device of another node
    
    Modifying an exiting device's superblock or creating a new superblock
    on an existing device needs to be checked because the device could be
    in use by another node in another array. So, we check this by taking
    all superblock locks in userspace so that we don't  step onto an active
    device used by another node and safeguard against accidental edits.
    After the edit is complete, we release all locks and the lockspace so
    that it can be used by the kernel space.

+/* Create the lockspace, take bitmapXXX locks on all the bitmaps. */
+int cluster_get_dlmlock(struct supertype *st, int *lockid)
+{
+       int ret = -1;
+       char str[64];
+       int flags = LKF_NOQUEUE;
+
+       dlm_lock_res = xmalloc(sizeof(struct dlm_lock_resource));
+       dlm_lock_res->ls = dlm_hooks->create_lockspace(st->cluster_name, O_RDWR);
+       if (!dlm_lock_res->ls) {
+               pr_err("%s failed to create lockspace\n", st->cluster_name);
+                goto out;
+       }
+
+       /* Conversions need the lockid in the LKSB */
+       if (flags & LKF_CONVERT)
+               dlm_lock_res->lksb.sb_lkid = *lockid;

You set flags = LKF_NOQUEUE but later check (flags & LKF_CONVERT), which
cannot be true given that:

mdadm.h:#define LKF_NOQUEUE	0x00000001
mdadm.h:#define LKF_CONVERT	0x00000004

Is this a bug, or do you have pending patches for this?

Cheers,
Jes
