This is a formal patch set to solve the deadlock issue on which I previously started a RFC (draft patch), and the discussion happened here: [https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2016-October/012455.html]
Compared to the previous draft patch, this one is much simple and neat. It neither messes up the dlmglue core, nor has a performance penalty on the whole cluster locking system. Instead, it is only used in places where such recursive cluster locking may happen. Your comments and feedbacks are always welcomed.
