Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.12.2-8

100

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a distributed replicated volume.
2. mount it and create a lot of files.
3. issue gluster volume status volname inodes 

Actual results:
Commit fails on the remote nodes.

Expected results:
should print the inodes status output with the connections. without the commit failing (prints it as commit failed but its a brickop failure.)

REVIEW: https://review.gluster.org/20035 (Core: The lock contention on gf_client_dump_inodes_to_dict) posted (#1) for review on master by hari gowtham

Comment 2 Worker Ant 2018-05-30 03:37:40 UTC
COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/20035 committed in master by "Amar Tumballi" <amarts> with a commit message- Core: The lock contention on gf_client_dump_inodes_to_dict

Problem: For a distributed replicated volume, in the inode status
command the lock on gf_client_dump_inodes_to_dict is held by the
first brickop. while this is being processed, if the second brickop
comes. It fails to get the lock and the whole brick op fails.

Fix: Instead of using a TRY_LOCK which errors out if the lock is busy,
Use LOCK which will wait till the lock is acquired.
