* md-cluster: fix deadlock issue on message lockGuoqing Jiang2015-08-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is problem with previous communication mechanism, and we got below deadlock scenario with cluster which has 3 nodes. Sender Receiver Receiver token(EX) message(EX) writes message downconverts message(CR) requests ack(EX) get message(CR) gets message(CR) reads message reads message requests EX on message requests EX on message To fix this problem, we do the following changes: 1. the sender downconverts MESSAGE to CW rather than CR. 2. and the receiver request PR lock not EX lock on message. And in case we failed to down-convert EX to CW on message, it is better to unlock message otherthan still hold the lock.
