In lockres_seq_start() of dlmdebug.c, when you looking at following
piece of codes:

list_for_each_entry(res, track_list, tracking) {
        if (&res->tracking == &dlm->tracking_list)
                res = NULL;
        else
                dlm_lockres_get(res);
        break;
}

...

if (res) {
        spin_lock(&res->spinlock);
        dump_lockres(res, dl->dl_buf, dl->dl_len - 1);
        spin_unlock(&res->spinlock);
} else
        dl = NULL;

One thought can come to you that, in the case of 'an-empty-list', cursor 'res'
here is not an INVALID pointer for real dlm_lock_resource object, it is nothing
than a fake address figured out by arbitary 'container_of()' way, the patch 
tries
to check track_list, and avoid accessing an invalid pointer if the list is 
empty,
it fixes following oops:
