From 55434d308b4e459ba3a169eff94568312dba767c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thierry Bordaz Date: Nov 05 2015 11:46:12 +0000 Subject: Ticket 47976: deadlock in mep delete post op Bug Description: When deleting the original entry, some DB pages are acquired in write. The deadlock occurs because when reading the parent entry of the MEP entry MEP plugin requires read access to one of the page acquired by the deletion of the original entry. The read access can be granted if it is using the parent txn. This bug requires that the parent entry of the MEP entry is not found in the entry cache, so it requires database access Fix Description: Fix ldbm_delete, so that it reads id2entry db with parent txn https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47976 Reviewed by: Ludwig Krispenz, Rich Megginson (Thanks you !!)
