[PATCH 04/11] GFS2: glock livelock

From: Steven Whitehouse
Date: Mon May 17 2010 - 08:59:46 EST


From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes a couple gfs2 problems with the reclaiming of
unlinked dinodes. First, there were a couple of livelocks where
everything would come to a halt waiting for a glock that was
seemingly held by a process that no longer existed. In fact, the
process did exist, it just had the wrong pid number in the holder
information. Second, there was a lock ordering problem between
inode locking and glock locking. Third, glock/inode contention
could sometimes cause inodes to be improperly marked invalid by
iget_failed.
