ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer program products are presented for transiently clearing a reservation on a device, where the reservation belongs to a host that owns the device and the reservation blocks a host that does not own the device from performing an operation with the device. The reservation is cleared transiently by the host that does not own the device. While the reservation is cleared, the operation is performed with the device using the host that does not own the device.
