[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 18/19] gfs2: don't call go_unlock unless demote is close at hand

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

The go_unlock glops function is only used when unlocking rgrps.
Before this patch, the glock code did:
 1. spin_unlock(&gl->gl_lockref.lock);
 2. go_unlock
 3. spin_lock(&gl->gl_lockref.lock);
The go_unlock function checked for the GLF_DEMOTE or DEMOTE_PENDING
bits, and if set, called rgrp_go_unlock. But doing it that way
leaves a race: by the time rgrp_go_unlock returns, another process
may have set GLF_DEMOTE, causing the go_unlock to have been skipped.

This patch changes function gfs2_glock_dq so that it does not
release the gl_lockref lock until after the test for DEMOTE is
complete, and we know for sure whether it needs demoting (for this go).
That way, nobody can sneak in and change the flag during the function.

For simplicity's sake, I also changed the go_unlock parameter to
accept the glock rather than the holder.
