8b0d8e03f8 dlm: use proper C for dlm/requestqueue stuff (and fix alignment bug)
a) don't cast the pointer to dlm_header *, we use it as dlm_message *
   anyway.
b) we copy the message into a queue element, then pass the pointer to
   copy to dlm_receive_message_saved(); declare it properly to make sure
   that we have the right alignment.

c36258b592 [DLM] block dlm_recv in recovery transition
Introduce a per-lockspace rwsem that's held in read mode by dlm_recv
threads while working in the dlm.  This allows dlm_recv activity to be
suspended when the lockspace transitions to, from and between recovery
cycles.

The specific bug prompting this change is one where an in-progress
recovery cycle is aborted by a new recovery cycle.  While dlm_recv was
processing a recovery message, the recovery cycle was aborted and
dlm_recoverd began cleaning up.  dlm_recv decremented recover_locks_count
on an rsb after dlm_recoverd had reset it to zero.  This is fixed by
suspending dlm_recv (taking write lock on the rwsem) before aborting the
current recovery.

The transitions to/from normal and recovery modes are simplified by using
this new ability to block dlm_recv.  The switch from normal to recovery
mode means dlm_recv goes from processing locking messages, to saving them
for later, and vice versa.  Races are avoided by blocking dlm_recv when
setting the flag that switches between modes.

d4400156d4 [DLM] fix requestqueue race
Red Hat BZ 211914

There's a race between dlm_recoverd (1) enabling locking and (2) clearing
out the requestqueue, and dlm_recvd (1) checking if locking is enabled and
(2) adding a message to the requestqueue.  An order of recoverd(1),
recvd(1), recvd(2), recoverd(2) will result in a message being left on the
requestqueue.  The fix is to have dlm_recvd check if dlm_recoverd has
enabled locking after taking the mutex for the requestqueue and if it has
processing the message instead of queueing it.

e7fd41792f [DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVM
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.
