[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] Wakeup down-convert thread just after clearing OCFS2_LOCK_UPCONVERT_FINISHING -v2

[Sunil Mushran]

A better description would be:
=====================================
When the lockres state UPCONVERT_FINISHING is cleared,
we should wake up the downconvert thread incase that lockres
is in the blocked queue. Currently we are not doing so and thus
are at the mercy of another event waking up the dc thread.
======================================

With that in mind, can you do the following with the lock...

kick = (lockres->l_flags & OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED);

...

and this at the end of both functions.

if (kick)
      ocfs2_wake_downconvert_thread(ocfs2_get_lockres_osb(lockres));

Be careful in cluster_lock.
