There are some problems with the connections_lock. During my experiements I saw sometimes circular dependencies with sock_lock. The reason here might be code parts which runs nodeid2con() before or after sock_lock is acquired. Another issue are missing locks in for_conn() iteration. Maybe this works fine because for_conn() is running in a context where connection_hash cannot be manipulated by others anymore. However this patch changes the connection_hash to be protected by sleepable rcu. The hotpath function __find_con() is implemented lockless as it is only a reader of connection_hash and this hopefully fixes the circular locking dependencies. The iteration for_conn() will still call some sleepable functionality, that's why we use sleepable rcu in this case. This patch removes the kmemcache functionality as I think I need to make some free() functionality via call_rcu(). However allocation time isn't here an issue. The dlm_allow_con will not be protected by a lock anymore as I think it's enough to just set and flush workqueues afterwards.

appear as a file in the "dlm" directory. The output is the

list of resource and locks the local node knows about.
