[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 0/9] gfs2: glock instantiation and holder auto-demotion fixes

[Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>]

So far, glocks were instantiated inside of do_promote() as part of the
glock state engine logic.  This code can be moved outside the state
engine, which simplifies things significantly.  We no longer need to
release and re-acquire the glock spin lock in do_promote(), so the glock
holder we're trying to instantiate can no longer go away under us by
accident.  (Function do_promote() isn't always run in process context.)

To facilitate that, first fix and clean up gfs2_glock_async_wait() to
take advantage of the fact that canceling glock operations now works
properly.

With the above changes in place, split off a new go_held() glock
operation for actions to be performed whenever a new holder for a glock
is granted:  some of the actions carried out by inode_go_instantiate()
are meant to be carried out repeatedly, so move those over to the new
inode_go_held() handler.

Finally, Bob has found the remaining bug in the glock holder
auto-demotion feature we've disabled for 5.18; fix that and re-enable
the feature.

Thanks,
Andreas
