Right, for some reason, I was thinking the call is to 
__dlm_print_lock_resource() and not dlm_print_one_lock_resource(). So 
this could deadlock.

Yes dropping the track_lock can still cause the same problem. However, I 
am wondering , since this is during dlm unregister domain/ cluster 
disconnect after the dlm_thread has run, under what conditions would a 
concurrent access to the tracking_list occur at this point?

Maybe we only need this to fix the issue.

Thanks,
