Hi Jun

I just read the code around unlock/cancel.

I found that above code should be useless.
As upstream code already take it into consideration that AST has come before cancellation.
In dlm_get_cancel_actions()
	'''
	} else if (dlm_lock_on_list(&res->granted, lock)) {
		/* too late, already granted. */
		status = DLM_CANCELGRANT;
		*actions = DLM_UNLOCK_CALL_AST;
	} else {
	'''

For point 2, ocfs2 can handle it, so you still don't have to worry. It's no problem.
In dlmconvert_remote()


341         if (status != DLM_NORMAL) {
342                 if (status != DLM_NOTQUEUED)
343                         dlm_error(status);
344                 dlm_revert_pending_convert(res, lock);
345         } else if (!lock->convert_pending) {
346                 mlog(0, "%s: res %.*s, owner died and lock has been moved back "
347                                 "to granted list, retry convert.\n",
348                                 dlm->name, res->lockname.len, res->lockname.name);
349                 status = DLM_RECOVERING;
350         }

Thus, dlmlock() will wait until RECOVERY is done.
And for ocfs2 layer, it's apparent, it doesn't have to be aware of what happened to DLM.

Thanks,
Changwei
