    dlm: fix deadlock between dlm_send and dlm_controld · 36b71a8b
    David Teigland authored
    A deadlock sometimes occurs between dlm_controld closing
    a lowcomms connection through configfs and dlm_send looking
    up the address for a new connection in configfs.
    
    dlm_controld does a configfs rmdir which calls
    dlm_lowcomms_close which waits for dlm_send to
    cancel work on the workqueues.
    
    The dlm_send workqueue thread has called
    tcp_connect_to_sock which calls dlm_nodeid_to_addr
    which does a configfs lookup and blocks on a lock
    held by dlm_controld in the rmdir path.
    
    The solution here is to save the node addresses within
    the lowcomms code so that the lowcomms workqueue does
    not need to step through configfs to get a node address.
