[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 02/17] DLM: Eliminate CF_WRITE_PENDING flag

[tsutomu.owa]

From: Bob Peterson <rpete...@redhat.com>

Before this patch the CF_WRITE_PENDING flag was used to indicate
when writes to the socket were pending. This caused race conditions
whereby one process set the bit and another cleared it. Instead,
we just check to see if there's anything there to be sent. This
makes the code more intuitive and bullet-proof.
