From df5db5f9ee112e76b5202fbc331f990a0fc316d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 14:08:45 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: Don't demote a glock until its revokes are written Before this patch, run_queue would demote glocks based on whether there are any more holders. But if the glock has pending revokes that haven't been written to the media, giving up the glock might end in file system corruption if the revokes never get written due to io errors, node crashes and fences, etc. In that case, another node will replay the metadata blocks associated with the glock, but because the revoke was never written, it could replay that block even though the glock had since been granted to another node who might have made changes. This patch changes the logic in run_queue so that it never demotes a glock until its count of pending revokes reaches zero.
