[Cluster-devel] [PATCH dlm/next] fs: dlm: fix missing lkb refcount handling

[Alexander Aring <aahringo@redhat.com>]

We always calling hold_lkb(lkb) if we increment lkb->lkb_wait_count. As
conclusion we always need to call unhold_lkb(lkb) if we decrement
lkb->lkb_wait_count. This patch will add missing unhold_lkb(lkb) if we
decrement lkb->lkb_wait_count. In case of setting lkb->lkb_wait_count to
zero we need to countdown until reaching zero and call unhold_lkb(lkb).
The waiters list unhold_lkb(lkb) can be removed because it's done for
the last lkb_wait_count decrement iteration as it's done in
_remove_from_waiters().

This issue was discovered by a dlm gfs2 test case which use excessively
dlm_unlock(LKF_CANCEL) feature. Probably the lkb->lkb_wait_count value
never reached above 1 if this feature isn't used and so it was not
discovered before.

The testcase ended in a rsb on the rsb keep data structure with a
refcount of 1 but no lkb was associated with it anymore which is itself
an invalid behaviour. As sideeffect it was observed that the dlm
lockspace was in a kind of deadlock state by sending remove messages in
a looping behaviour. With this patch I never observed a similar
behaviour again.
