gfs-kernel/src/gfs: glock.c
Log message:
Fix for bz #419391. gfs_glock_dq was traversing the gl_holders list
without
holding the gl_spin spinlock, this was causing a problem when the list
item
it was currently looking at got removed from the list. The solution is
to
not traverse the list, because it is unncessary. Unfortunately, there
is also
a bug in this section of code, where you can't guarantee that you will
not
cache a glock held with GL_NOCACHE. Fixing this issue requires
significantly
more work.
