[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 1/4] GFS2: Introduce helper for clearing gl_object

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

This patch introduces a new helper function in glock.h that
clears gl_object, with an added integrity check. An additional
integrity check has been added to glock_set_object, plus comments.
This is step 1 in a series to ensure gl_object integrity.
