[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2/dlm: check dlm_state under spinlock

[Srinivas Eeda]

The lock order in this code causes dead lock, not caused by your patch. 
The lock order in dlm_query_join_handler is

dlm_domain_lock
    ->dlm->spinlock

dead locks with ..

dlm_lockres_put calls dlm_lockres_release while holding dlm->spinlock 
which calls dlm_put which gets dlm_domain_lock. So the spin lock order 
here is
dlm->spinlock
    -> dlm_domain_lock
