That's fine!

Oh, sorry, I meant phase3 can go ahead if this patch set is applied;-)

Sorry, I still cannot see it. Without keeping track of the first cluster lock, how can we
know if
we are under a context that has already been in the protecting of cluster lock? How can we
handle
the recursive locking (the second cluster lock) if we don't have this information?

I think I got your point here. Do you mean that we should just add the lock holder at the
first locking position
without checking before that? Unfortunately, it's tricky here to know exactly which ocfs2
routine will be the first vfs
entry point, such as ocfs2_get_acl() which can be both the first vfs entry point and the
second vfs entry point after
ocfs2_permission(), right?
It will be a coding bug if the problem you concern about happens. I think we don't need to
worry about this much because
the code logic here is quite simple;-)
Thanks for your patience!
