[PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Fix race between mount and recovery
As the fs recovery is asynchronous, there is a small chance that another node can mount (and thus recover) the slot before the recovery thread gets to it. If this happens, the recovery thread will block indefinitely on the journal/slot lock as that lock will be held for the duration of the mount (by design) by the node assigned to that slot. The solution implemented is to keep track of the journal replays using a recovery generation in the journal inode, which will be incremented by the thread replaying that journal. The recovery thread, before attempting the blocking lock on the journal/slot lock, will compare the generation on disk with what it has cached and skip recovery if it does not match. This bug appears to have been inadvertently introduced during the mount/umount vote removal by mainline commit 34d024f. In the mount voting scheme, the messaging would indirectly indicate that the slot was being recovered. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <[email protected]>
