'commit e07369b28d7a569e742d80152ef10c9d42bc2650' introduced a bug where a tfr struct would get added to one queue (cluster_queue) before being removed from another (x->delay_queue). This causes a variety of issues, including: - machine hang (if clogd is in real time scheduling mode) - LVM/dmsetup command hangs - sync stoppage ... and any number of things that can result from corrupted list or lost requests.
commit cc5877e65fad20dd8657881a7ca7361e6e4c08bf Author: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow> Date: Fri Oct 24 13:42:06 2008 -0500 clogd: Fix for bug 468438 - list corruption 'commit e07369b28d7a569e742d80152ef10c9d42bc2650' introduced the concept of a delay queue to hold requests while membership changes occurred. Sometimes, a request would be added to the delay_queue /and/ the cluster_queue, resulting in list corruption. Depending on how the list was corrupted, infinite loops could occur, or requests could simply be lost.
