[PATCH 5/6] dlm: fix conversion deadlock from recovery

From: David Teigland
Date: Mon Jul 23 2012 - 14:17:59 EST


The process of rebuilding locks on a new master during
recovery could re-order the locks on the convert queue,
creating an "in place" conversion deadlock that would
not be resolved. Fix this by not considering queue
order when granting conversions after recovery.
