The commit1bbe254e43("md-cluster: check for timeout while a new disk adding") is correct in terms of code syntax but not suite real clustered code logic. When a timeout occurs while adding a new disk, if recv_daemon() bypasses the unlock for ack_lockres:CR, another node will be waiting to grab EX lock. This will cause the cluster to hang indefinitely. How to fix: 1. In dlm_lock_sync(), change the wait behaviour from forever to a timeout, This could avoid the hanging issue when another node fails to handle cluster msg. Another result of this change is that if another node receives an unknown msg (e.g. a new msg_type), the old code will hang, whereas the new code will timeout and fail. This could help cluster_md handle new msg_type from different nodes with different kernel/module versions (e.g. The user only updates one leg's kernel and monitors the stability of the new kernel). 2. The old code for __sendmsg() always returns 0 (success) under the design (must successfully unlock ->message_lockres). This commit makes this function return an error number when an error occurs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
