2007-07-09	[DLM] canceling deadlocked lock	David Teigland	1	-0/+1
	Add a function that can be used through libdlm by a system daemon to cancel another process's deadlocked lock. A completion ast with EDEADLK is returned to the process waiting for the lock. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2007-07-09	[DLM] dlm_device interface changes [3/6]	David Teigland	1	-6/+15
	Change the user/kernel device interface used by libdlm: - Add ability for userspace to check the version of the interface. libdlm can now adapt to different versions of the kernel interface. - Increase the size of the flags passed in a lock request so all possible flags can be used from userspace. - Add an opaque "xid" value for each lock. This "transaction id" will be used later to associate locks with each other during deadlock detection. - Add a "timeout" value for each lock. This is used along with the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT flag. Also, remove a fragment of unused code in device_read(). This patch requires updating libdlm which is backward compatible with older kernels.

2006-06-09	[DLM] compat patch	Patrick Caulfield	1	-4/+7
	Here's a patch which add 32/64 bit compat to the DLM IOs and tidies the structures for alignment. As it causes an ABI change I had few qualms about adding the extra flag for "is64bit" as it simply uses a byte that would have been padding.

2006-02-23	[DLM] Remove range locks from the DLM	David Teigland	1	-2/+1

2006-01-18	[DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVM	David Teigland	1	-0/+84
	This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either of these two projects. It implements VAX-style locking modes.
