This patch introduce a new internal flag per lkb value to handle
internal flags which are handled not on wire. The current lkb internal
flags stored as lkb->lkb_flags are split in upper and lower bits, the
lower bits are used to share internal flags over wire for other cluster
wide lkb copies on other nodes.
In commit 61bed0baa4db ("fs: dlm: use a non-static queue for callbacks")
we introduced a new internal flag for pending callbacks for the dlm
callback queue. This flag is protected by the lkb->lkb_cb_lock lock.
This patch overlooked that on dlm receive path and the mentioned upper
and lower bits, that dlm will read the flags, mask it and write it
back. As example receive_flags() in fs/dlm/lock.c. This flag
manipulation is not done atomically and is not protected by
lkb->lkb_cb_lock. This has unknown side effects of the current callback
handling.
In future we should move to set/clear/test bit functionality and avoid
read, mask and writing back flag values. In later patches we will move
the upper parts to the new introduced internal lkb flags which are not
shared between other cluster nodes to the new non shared internal flag
field to avoid similar issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
