- request to send a message
- make changes to superblock
- send messages telling everyone that the superblock has changed
- other nodes all read the superblock
- other nodes all ack the messages
- updating node release the "I'm sending a message" resource.

The sending part is split in two functions to make sure
atomicity of the operations, such as the MD superblock update.

The DLM informs us in case of node failure with the DLM slot number.
cluster_info->recovery_map sets the bit corresponding to the slot number
and wakes up the recovery thread.
The recovery thread:
1. Derives the slot number from the recovery_map
2. Locks the bitmap corresponding to the slot
3. Copies the set bits to the node-local bitmap

When a node joins, it does not know of other nodes performing resync.
So, each node keeps the resync information in it's LVB. When a new
node joins, it reads the LVB of each "online" bitmap.
[TODO] The new node attempts to get the PW lock on other bitmap, if
it is successful, it reads the bitmap and performs the resync (if
required) on it's behalf.
If the node does not get the PW, it requests CR and reads the LVB
for the resync information.

Bitmap super has a field nodes, which defines the maximum number
of nodes the device can use. While reading the bitmap super, if
the cluster finds out that the number of nodes is > 0:
1. Requests the md-cluster module.
2. Calls md_cluster_ops->join(), which sets up clustering such as
joining DLM lockspace.
Since the first time, the first bitmap is read. After the call
to the cluster_setup, the bitmap offset is adjusted and the
superblock is re-read. This also ensures the bitmap is read
the bitmap lock (when bitmap lock is introduced in later patches)
Questions:
1. cluster name is repeated in all bitmap supers. Is that okay?

DLM offers callbacks when a node fails and the lock remastery
is performed:
1. recover_prep: called when DLM discovers a node is down
2. recover_slot: called when DLM identifies the node and recovery
can start
3. recover_done: called when all nodes have completed recover_slot
recover_slot() and recover_done() are also called when the node joins
initially in order to inform the node with its slot number. These slot
numbers start from one, so we deduct one to make it start with zero
which the cluster-md code uses.

md_cluster_info stores the cluster information in the MD device.
The join() is called when mddev detects it is a clustered device.
The main responsibilities are:
1. Setup a DLM lockspace
2. Setup all initial locks such as super block locks and bitmap lock (will come later)
The leave() clears up the lockspace and all the locks held.

A dlm_lock_resource is a structure which contains all information
required for locking using DLM. The init function allocates the
lock and acquires the lock in NL mode. The unlock function
converts the lock resource to NL mode. This is done to preserve
LVB and for faster processing of locks. The lock resource is
DLM unlocked only in the lockres_free function, which is the end
of life of the lock resource.
