Ticket #167 - Mixing transaction and non-transaction plugins can cause deadlock
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/167
Resolves: Ticket #167
Bug Description: Mixing transaction and non-transaction plugins can cause deadlock
Reviewed by: nhosoi (Thanks!)
Branch: master
Fix Description: Make all code that uses internal database operations be
transaction aware. This excludes code that works exclusively on the
config DSEs such as cn=schema or cn=config. This also excludes code in
a couple of areas, because of difficulty in passing in the txn handle:
1) views_entry_exists Slapi APIB functions
2) acllas.c code that does internal searching
3) cos_cache_follow_pointer()
Also allow dna, linkedattrs, automember, and mep to run as betxn plugins by
configuring the plugin config entry in the dse
Platforms tested: RHEL6 x86_64, Fedora 16
