[Cluster-devel] [PATCH dlm/next 0/8] fs: dlm: new debug feature and fix invalid message

[Alexander Aring]

Hi,

This patch contains small cleanups and a new debugging feature which
will allow us to manipulate DLM state and sending out a dlm message
constructed by user space. It's an early state feature and not everything
is possible yet. The goal is here to bring DLM in a somehow valid testing
state and send some DLM message to crash the kernel.

I did a scapy module for DLM [0]. Furthermore this can also be used to
fuzz the DLM kernel stack and detect issues earlier like PATCH 8/8
fixes. After some more cleanup I try to bring it upstream.

The method is simple:

1. add lkb and waiter to bring DLM in a state that it accepts a specific
   dlm message
2. construct the message in python by using scapy and send it out

May we do that in a loop and fuzz some dlm message fields to check for
issues if a invalid message was received.

Now there might be other bugs why we received an invalid message, but we
should check and filter those out. 

- Alex
