Umm... dlm_master_lookup() locking is not nice, but to trigger that
you would need a combination of
* from_nodeid != our_nodeid (or we would've buggered off long before that point)
* dir_nodeid == our_nodeid
* failing dlm_search_rsb_tree(&ls->ls_rsbtbl[b].keep, name, len, &r)
(success would have the lock dropped)
* succeeding dlm_search_rsb_tree(&ls->ls_rsbtbl[b].toss, name, len, &r)
* from_master being true
* r->res_master_nodeid != from_nodeid and r->res_master_nodeid == our_nodeid
(the former is follows from the latter, actually)
The last one might or might not be impossible - I'm not familiar with dlm
guts, but it does have
log_error(ls, "from_master %d our_master", from_nodeid);
just before that call, so it's worth a further look.
