Hi together!

During the shutdown of my second cluster node (two node cluster) I have
seen a process 'dlm_recoverd' running with 100% CPU usage for about 6
minutes.


It's just that I have no idea what is the task of this process since I
haven't been able to find the binary nor a man page for it. Is this one
coming from the kernel or from one of the cluster components?


Can anyone point me into the right direction? Googling hasn't been
helpful either ...


Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Heiko

It's a kernel thread, and it's doing lock recovery. There have been some
recent improvements to speed up recovery for millions of locks, e.g.
