[linux-lvm] Pvmove can work on cluster with LVM 2.02.120(2) (2015-05-15), or not?

Hello List,

This is another pvmove problem, the LVM version is 2.02.120(2) (2015-05-15).
This bug can be reproduced (not each time, but very easy),
the problem is, online pvmove brings the upper file system hang.
the environment is a three-node cluster (CLVM+OCFS2).
1) create two PV, create one VG, create one LV.
sles12sp3r1-nd1:/ # pvs
  PV         VG          Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/sda1  cluster-vg2 lvm2 a--  120.00g 60.00g
  /dev/sda2              lvm2 ---   30.00g 30.00g
  /dev/sdb1  cluster-vg2 lvm2 a--  120.00g 60.00g
  /dev/sdb2              lvm2 ---   30.00g 30.00g
sles12sp3r1-nd1:/ # vgs
  VG          #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
  cluster-vg2   2   2   0 wz--nc 239.99g 119.99g
sles12sp3r1-nd1:/ # lvs
  LV       VG          Attr       LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log
Cpy%Sync Convert
  test-lv  cluster-vg2 -wI-ao---- 20.00g

2) mkfs.ocfs2 test-lv LV, and mount this LV on each node.
mkfs.ocfs2 -N 4 /dev/cluster-vg2/test-lv (on one node)
mount /dev/cluster-vg2/test-lv  /mnt/shared (on each node)

3) write/truncate some files in /mnt/shared from each node continually.

4) run pvmove command on node1 while step 3) is in progress on each node.
sles12sp3r1-nd1:/ # pvmove -i 5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
Pvmove process will enter this stack,
sles12sp3r1-nd1:/ # cat /proc/12748/stack
[<ffffffff810f429f>] hrtimer_nanosleep+0xaf/0x170
[<ffffffff810f43b6>] SyS_nanosleep+0x56/0x70
[<ffffffff8160916e>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6d
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

5)Then, I can encounter ocfs2 file system write/truncate process hang
problem on each node,
The root cause is blocked at getting journal lock.
but the journal lock is being used by ocfs2_commit thread, this thread is
blocked at flushing journal to the disk (LVM disk).
sles12sp3r1-nd3:/ # cat /proc/2310/stack
[<ffffffffa021ab4a>] jbd2_log_wait_commit+0x8a/0xf0 [jbd2]
[<ffffffffa021e5c7>] jbd2_journal_flush+0x47/0x180 [jbd2]
[<ffffffffa04d2621>] ocfs2_commit_thread+0xa1/0x350 [ocfs2]
[<ffffffff8109b627>] kthread+0xc7/0xe0
[<ffffffff8160617f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70
[<ffffffff8109b560>] kthread+0x0/0xe0
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

So, I want to confirm if online pvmove is supported by LVM 2.02.120(2)
(2015-05-15)?
If yes, how to debug this bug? it looks ocfs2 journal thread can not flush
data to the underlying LVM disk.

Thanks
Gang
