I’ve just put up the current “add node” patch… which is like, totally experimental and kills kittens… but could be interesting for people to have a look at as it progresses. Still lots of work before production ready – but people here at the MySQL Conf have said they’re interested in looking at the code for it.
You can grab a combined patch or the quilt series from:

Applies to 5.1… at least on a few weeks ago tree.
class Guard {
public:
Guard(NdbMutex *mtx) : m_mtx(mtx) { NdbMutex_Lock(m_mtx); };
Guard(NdbLockable & l) : m_mtx(l.m_mutex) { NdbMutex_Lock(m_mtx);
};
~Guard() { NdbMutex_Unlock(m_mtx); };
private:
NdbMutex *m_mtx;
};

A note reminding me to go take a look and see what can be ripped out and placed into various bits of MySQL and NDB. Ideally, of course, it could be turned into a LD_PRELOAD for pthread mutexes.
Anybody who wants to look deeper into it before I wake up again is welcome to (and tell me what they find)
