ocfs2/dlm: Migrate lockres with no locks if it has a reference
o2dlm was not migrating resources with zero locks because it assumed that that resource would get purged by dlm_thread. However, some usage patterns involve creating and dropping locks at a high rate leading to the migrate thread seeing zero locks but the purge thread seeing an active reference. When this happens, the dlm_thread cannot purge the resource and the migrate thread sees no reason to migrate that resource. The spell is broken when the migrate thread catches the resource with a lock. The fix is to make the migrate thread also consider the reference map. This usage pattern can be triggered by userspace on userdlm locks and flocks. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
