[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] gfs2: Use TRY lock in gfs2_inode_lookup for UNLINKED inodes

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

Before this patch, delete_work_func() would check for the GLF_DEMOTE
flag on the iopen glock and if set, it would perform special processing.
However, there was a race whereby the GLF_DEMOTE flag could be set by
another process after the check. Then when it called
gfs2_lookup_by_inum() which calls gfs2_inode_lookup(), it tried to lock
the iopen glock in SH mode, but the GLF_DEMOTE flag prevented the
request from being granted. But the iopen glock could never be demoted
because that happens when the inode is evicted, and the evict was never
completed because of the failed lookup.

To fix that, change function gfs2_inode_lookup() so that when
GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED inodes are searched, it uses the LM_FLAG_TRY flag
for the iopen glock.  If the locking request fails, fail
gfs2_inode_lookup() with -EAGAIN so that delete_work_func() can retry
the operation later.
