From: Gang He ghe@suse.com
commit ff26cc10aec128c3f86b5611fd5f59c71d49c0e3 upstream.
If we can't get inode lock immediately in the function ocfs2_inode_lock_with_page() when reading a page, we should not return directly here, since this will lead to a softlockup problem when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set. The method is to get a blocking lock and immediately unlock before returning, this can avoid CPU resource waste due to lots of retries, and benefits fairness in getting lock among multiple nodes, increase efficiency in case modifying the same file frequently from multiple nodes.
The softlockup crash (when set /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_panic to 1) looks like:

About performance improvement, we can see the testing time is reduced, and CPU utilization decreases, the detailed data is as follows. I ran multi_mmap test case in ocfs2-test package in a three nodes cluster.
