No, please see the comments above the function ocfs2_inode_lock_with_page(), there will be probably a deadlock between tasks acquiring DLM locks while holding a page lock and the downconvert thread which blocks dlm lock acquiry while acquiring page locks. Then, the OCFS2_LOCK_NONBLOCK flag was introduced as a workaround to avoid this case.
