[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: re-queue AST or BAST if sending is failed to improve the reliability

Hi Gang,

At present time, when AST or BAST sending is failed, it already prints
ERROR logs.

I admit that it's truly a corner case but a fatal error when networks is
not reliable.

Because if AST is not sent back to locking node, related procedure will
be pending, even the whole cluster will hang.

I think it is not permitted in enterprise-level usage scenario.

Thangks
