[389-devel] Please review (take 2): [Bug 570667] MMR: simultaneous total updates on the masters cause deadlock and data loss

[Noriko Hosoi]

Subject: MMR: simultaneous total updates on the masters cause deadlock and data loss

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570667

[Revised proposal]
  -->  (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=398089)
git patch file

I revised the previous patch to allow sending simultaneous total updates
against other replicas.  I think it's no need to disallow it.

Thank you!

> Description: In the MMR topology, if a master receives a total
> update request to initialize the other master and being initialized
> by the other master at the same time, the 2 replication threads hang
> and the replicated backend instance could be wiped out.
>
> To prevent the server running the total update supplier and the
> consumer at the same time, REPLICA_TOTAL_EXCLUSIVE bit has
> been introduced and set to the replica state flag by the either
> operation.  Once the bit is detected, the other operation fails with
> the error.
