I try to trace process_blocked_lock(), the result is quite complex. I attach the
modified fs/ocfs2 code (ocfs2-trace.tar.bz2) in this email, since it's not
latest upstream ocfs2 code.

Then I run the bash script to create zero byte file, when the blocking happens,
I dump the dmesg output from all nodes.

The printk message is quite long, therefore, I try to divide the printk messages
into several mod (up to 11, see printk-mods.txt), and try to replace the printk
messages by a symbol (M1, M2, ... M11). If there is a symbol continuous
repeated, I only keep one and followed with its repeat number.

Then I get a much short printk message dump file, I past the content here:

--------------------------------------------

There are some incomplete printk messages in the dump file, I don't have idea
yet why part of them are missed. If ignoring the incomplete printk messages, we
can find ocfs2_precess_blocked_lock() execution in mod 2 and 5 happens >99%.
This is an interested result, I can not explain yet.

Another notable thing is, I find in only in mod 1,2,4,5,7,9,10,11, l_ex_holders
and l_ro_holders are all zero. IMHO, if current lockres is PR, there should be
at least 1 l_ro_holder; if current lockres is EX, there should be at least 1
l_ex_holders. Still I can not see my observation is a result of the blocking
issue, or a source of the blocking issue.

I update my current progress, and continue to work on it. If there are any
suggestion from anyone on the list, I am glad to know :-)

Thanks.
