Subject: [PATCH 1/6] gfs2: Avoid ip->i_gl dereferences in gfs2_inode_lookup and gfs2_create_inode
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:21:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820142129.1327413-2-agruenba@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820142129.1327413-1-agruenba@redhat.com>

Store the inode glock in a separate variable instead of repeatedly retrieving
it as ip->i_gl.
