Orabug: 18639535
Two node cluster and both nodes hold a lock at PR level and both want to
convert to EX at the same time. Master node 1 has sent BAST and then
closes the connection due to idletime out. Node 0 receives BAST, sends
unlock req with cancel flag but gets error -ENOTCONN. The problem is
this error is ignored in dlm_send_remote_unlock_request() on the
**incorrect** assumption that the master is dead. See NOTE in comment
why it returns DLM_NORMAL. Upon getting DLM_NORMAL, node 0 proceeds to
sends convert (without cancel flg) which fails with -ENOTCONN. waits 5
sec and resends.
This time gets DLM_IVLOCKID from the master since lock not found in
grant, it had been moved to converting queue in response to conv PR->EX
req. No way out.
Node 1 (master) Node 0
============== ======
lock mode PR PR
convert PR -> EX
mv grant -> convert and que BAST
...
<-------- convert PR -> EX
convert que looks like this: ((node 1, PR -> EX) (node 0, PR -> EX))
...
BAST (want PR -> NL)
------------------>
...
idle timout, conn closed
...
In response to BAST,
sends unlock with cancel convert flag
gets -ENOTCONN. Ignores and
sends remote convert request
gets -ENOTCONN, waits 5 Sec, retries
...
reconnects
<----------------- convert req goes through on next try
does not find lock on grant que
status DLM_IVLOCKID
------------------>
...
No way out. Fix is to keep retrying unlock with cancel flag until it
succeeds or the master dies.
