[Ocfs2-devel] ocfs2: Question for ocfs2_recovery_thread

[Joseph Qi]

Hi,
Once there is node down in the cluster, ocfs2_recovery_thread will be
triggered on each node. These threads then do the down node recovery by
get super lock.
I have several questions on this:
1) Why each node has to run such a thread? We know at last one node can
get the super lock and do the actual recovery.
2) If this thread is running but something error occurred, take
ocfs2_super_lock failed for example, the thread will exit without
clearing recovery map, will it cause other threads still waiting for
recovery in ocfs2_wait_for_recovery?
