Re: DMAPI bug in dm_file_getattr() / dm_set_region

Dean,

Your scenario is correct, and yes, there is a lot more going on than just
those calls.  I'll see if I can get you a more detailed calling sequence.

In the mean time, I'm running with your patch on an otherwise unmodified
XFS 1.1 system.  Perhaps I am missing some more recent modifications?  I
could grab something more recent from CVS if you think that would help.

Thanks,

So a user process opens a file for append, and then does a write.  This
generates a write event.

The HSM calls dm_get_events to get the write event.  Then it calls
dm_get_fileattr on that handle, then dm_set_region on that handle, then
finally responds to the write event with dm_respond_event--is that the
scenario?  That scenario doesn't hang for me, so is there anything else
going
on in there?
