tdb: handle processes dying during transaction commit.
tdb transactions were designed to be robust against the machine powering off, but interestingly were never designed to handle the case where an administrator kill -9's a process during commit. Because recovery is only done on tdb_open, processes with the tdb already mapped will simply use it despite it being corrupt and needing recovery. The solution to this is to check for recovery every time we grab a data lock: we could have gained the lock because a process just died. This has no measurable cost: here is the time for tdbtorture -s 0 -n 1 -l 10000: Before: 2.75 2.50 2.81 3.19 2.91 2.53 2.72 2.50 2.78 2.77 = Avg 2.75 After: 2.81 2.57 3.42 2.49 3.02 2.49 2.84 2.48 2.80 2.43 = Avg 2.74 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
