	When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock, the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first. In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them in that order. This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit bast extraneous. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2008-12-23	dlm: improve how bast mode handling	David Teigland
	The lkb bastmode value is set in the context of processing the lock, and read by the dlm_astd thread. Because it's accessed in these two separate contexts, the writing/reading ought to be done under a lock. This is simple to do by setting it and reading it when the lkb is added to and removed from dlm_astd's callback list which is properly locked. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>
2006-01-18	[DLM] The core of the DLM for GFS2/CLVM	David Teigland
	This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either of these two projects. It implements VAX-style locking modes.
