Um, as I know SUSE is using fs/dlm which I am not familiar with.
But for ocfs2/dlm, the LVB passing path should be like below:
NODE 1 lvb (ex granted at time1) -> NODE 2 lvb(ex granted at time2) -> NODE 3 lvb(ex granted at time3).
time1 < time2 < time3
So I think NODE 3 can't obtain LVB from NODE 1 but from NODE 2.
Moreover, if node 1 is the master of trimfs lock resource, node 1's LVB will be updated to be the same as node 2.
