From c85d65e91430db94ae9ce0cf38b56e496658b642 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Teigland Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 09:01:26 -0500 Subject: [DLM] cancel in conversion deadlock [4/6] When conversion deadlock is detected, cancel the conversion and return EDEADLK to the application. This is a new default behavior where before the dlm would allow the deadlock to exist indefinately. The DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT flag can now be used in a conversion to prevent the dlm from performing conversion deadlock detection/cancelation on it. The DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK flag can continue to be used as before to tell the dlm to demote the granted mode of the lock being converted if it gets into a conversion deadlock.
