[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 14/18] [GFS2] Fix delayed demote race

[swhiteho@redhat.com <swhiteho@redhat.com>]

From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

There is a race in the delayed demote code where it does the wrong thing
if a demotion to UN has occurred for other reasons before the delay has
expired. This patch adds an assert to catch that condition as well as
fixing the root cause by adding an additional check for the UN state.
