According to fs/dlm/lock.c, the kernel may sleep under a spinlock,
and the function call path is:
dlm_master_lookup (acquire the spinlock)
dlm_send_rcom_lookup_dump
create_rcom
dlm_lowcomms_get_buffer
nodeid2con
mutex_lock --> may sleep

This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.

Thanks,
