[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH v3 09/19] gfs2: Ignore recovery attempts if gfs2 has io error or is withdrawn

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

This patch addresses various problems with gfs2/dlm recovery.

For example, suppose a node with a bunch of gfs2 mounts suddenly
reboots due to kernel panic, and dlm determines it should perform
recovery. DLM does so from a pseudo-state machine calling various
callbacks into lock_dlm to perform a sequence of steps. It uses
generation numbers and recover bits in dlm "control" lock lvbs.

Now suppose another node tries to recover the failed node's
journal, but in so doing, encounters an IO error or withdraws
due to unforeseen circumstances, such as an hba driver failure.
In these cases, the recovery would eventually bail out, but it
would still update its generation number in the lvb. The other
nodes would all see the newer generation number and think they
don't need to do recovery because the generation number is newer
than the last one they saw, and therefore someone else has already
taken care of it.

If the file system has an io error or is withdrawn, it cannot
safely replay any journals (its own or others) but someone else
still needs to do it. Therefore we don't want it messing with
the journal recovery generation numbers: the local generation
numbers eventually get put into the lvb generation numbers to be
seen by all nodes.

This patch adds checks to many of the callbacks used by dlm
in its recovery state machine so that the functions are ignored
and skipped if an io error has occurred or if the file system
was withdraw.
