From 1ce533686c7d40bf900dc346a7279c17a9ee8e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:27:40 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: force a log flush when invalidating the rindex glock Right now, there is nothing that forces the log to get flushed when a node drops its rindex glock so that another node can grow the filesystem. If the log doesn't get flushed, GFS2 can corrupt the sd_log_le_rg list in the following way. A node puts an rgd on the list in rg_lo_add(), and then the rindex glock is dropped so the other node can grow the filesystem. When the node reacquires the rindex glock, that rgd gets deleted in clear_rgrpdi() before ever being removed from the list by gfs2_log_flush(). This code simply forces a log flush when the rindex glock is invalidated, solving the problem.
