[PATCH 08/15] GFS2: Fix glock deallocation race

From: Steven Whitehouse
Date: Tue Mar 15 2011 - 05:35:59 EST


This patch fixes a race in deallocating glocks which was introduced
in the RCU glock patch. We need to ensure that the glock count is
kept correct even in the case that there is a race to add a new
glock into the hash table. Also, to avoid having to wait for an
RCU grace period, the glock counter can be decremented before
call_rcu() is called.
