dlm for 4.18
These three commits fix and clean up the flags dlm was
using on its SCTP sockets. The result improves the
performance and fixes some bad connection delays.
dlm: remove O_NONBLOCK flag in sctp_connect_to_sock
We should remove O_NONBLOCK flag when calling sock->ops->connect()
in sctp_connect_to_sock() function.
Why?
1. up to now, sctp socket connect() function ignores the flag argument,
that means O_NONBLOCK flag does not take effect, then we should remove
it to avoid the confusion (but is not urgent).
2. for the future, there will be a patch to fix this problem, then the flag
argument will take effect, the patch has been queued at https://git.kernel.o
rg/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/net/sctp?id=644fbdeacf1d3ed
d366e44b8ba214de9d1dd66a9.
But, the O_NONBLOCK flag will make sock->ops->connect() directly return
without any wait time, then the connection will not be established, DLM kernel
module will call sock->ops->connect() again and again, the bad results are,
CPU usage is almost 100%, even trigger soft_lockup problem if the related
configurations are enabled,
DLM kernel module also prints lots of messages like,

[Fri Apr 27 11:23:43 2018] dlm: connecting to 172167592
The upper application (e.g. ocfs2 mount command) is hanged at new_lockspace(),
the whole backtrace is as below,

So, I think we should remove O_NONBLOCK flag here, since DLM kernel module can
not handle non-block sockect in connect() properly.
