[Gluster-devel] 3.10 testing update: Deadlock in gf_timer invocation from a signal handler and possible inode ctx corruption issue in AFR

[Shyam]

Pranith, Ravi,

While testing 3.10 I faced a hung FUSE mount, and on further debugging, 
it looks like there are 2 problems here,

1) A deadlock in gf_timer locks, when invoked from a fault signal handler

2) The fault itself being caused due to AFR inode ctx pointer being 
invalid, and hence a call to gf_timer_call_cancel causes the segfault.

More details are captured here,

Request your attention on this for 3.10.

Thanks,
Shyam
