Subject: [Cluster-devel] GFS2: Remove potential race in flock code
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 11:38:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299670693.2587.12.camel@dolmen> (raw)


This patch ensures that we always wait for glock demotion when
dropping flocks on a file in order to prevent any race
conditions associated with further flock calls or closing
the file.

Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
