[Ocfs2-devel] Ocfs2-devel Digest, Vol 167, Issue 20

[Gang He]

Hi Zhonghua,

>From you describe, the issue is reproducible.
I suggest you to trigger a core dump when you find the threads meet a dead lock, the crash dump is most convincing.
Then, you can use crash command to list the related threads/backtraces/lock variables in the patch description.
it is easy to let the people know where we meet this dead-lock when code review, 
and it is easy to let the users find your patch to fix this bug in the future.  


Thanks
Gang
