Abstract

See full text

Communicating the failure of master process controlling one or more shared resources to all processes sharing the resources. A shared resource control file is established that contains the identities of all sharing processes. Master process failure triggers a race to establish exclusive access over the shared control file. The new master reads shadow address data from the old shared control file, marks it as invalid and establishes a new control file based on renewed registrations from the sharing processes. The master process maintains the sharing process list as process begin and end sharing.
