[PATCH v2 0/2] gfs2: Stop using rhashtable_walk_peek
From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Thu Mar 29 2018 - 08:06:25 EST
Here's a second version of the patch (now a patch set) to eliminate
rhashtable_walk_peek in gfs2.
The first patch introduces lockref_put_not_zero, the inverse of
lockref_get_not_zero.
The second patch eliminates rhashtable_walk_peek in gfs2. In
gfs2_glock_iter_next, the new lockref function from patch one is used to
drop a lockref count as long as the count doesn't drop to zero. This is
almost always the case; if there is a risk of dropping the last
reference, we must defer that to a work queue because dropping the last
reference may sleep.
Thanks,
Andreas
