[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 5/5] GFS2: Protect freeing directory hash table with i_lock spin_lock

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

This patch changes function gfs2_dir_hash_inval so it uses the
i_lock spin_lock to protect the in-core hash table, i_hash_cache.
This will prevent double-frees due to a race between gfs2_evict_inode
and inode invalidation.
