[PATCH] [DLM] cancel in conversion deadlock [4/6]

[swhiteho]

From: David Teigland <teigland@xxxxxxxxxx>

When conversion deadlock is detected, cancel the conversion and return
EDEADLK to the application.  This is a new default behavior where before
the dlm would allow the deadlock to exist indefinately.

The DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT flag can now be used in a conversion to prevent the
dlm from performing conversion deadlock detection/cancelation on it.
The DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK flag can continue to be used as before to tell the
dlm to demote the granted mode of the lock being converted if it gets into
a conversion deadlock.

+ * demote the granted mode of lkb (from PR to NL) if it has the CONVDEADLK

  *
- * After the resolution, the "grant pending" function needs to go back and try
- * to grant locks on the convert queue again since the first lock can now be
- * granted.
+ * Originally, this function detected conv-deadlk in a more limited scope:
+ * - if !modes_compat(lkb1, lkb2) && !modes_compat(lkb2, lkb1), or
+ * - if lkb1 was the first entry in the queue (not just earlier), and was
+ *   blocked by the granted mode of lkb2, and there was nothing on the
+ *   granted queue preventing lkb1 from being granted immediately, i.e.
+ *   lkb2 was the only thing preventing lkb1 from being granted.
+ *
+ * That second condition meant we'd only say there was conv-deadlk if
+ * resolving it (by demotion) would lead to the first lock on the convert
+ * queue being granted right away.  It allowed conversion deadlocks to exist
+ * between locks on the convert queue while they couldn't be granted anyway.
+ *
+ * Now, we detect and take action on conversion deadlocks immediately when
+ * they're created, even if they may not be immediately consequential.  If
+ * lkb1 exists anywhere in the convert queue and lkb2 comes in with a granted
+ * mode that would prevent lkb1's conversion from being granted, we do a
+ * deadlk/demote on lkb2 right away and don't let it onto the convert queue.
+ * I think this means that the lkb_is_ahead condition below should always
+ * be zero, i.e. there will never be conv-deadlk between two locks that are
+ * both already on the convert queue.
