GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flush
This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush. Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock. We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still cached from when the transaction was started. By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction glock. In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across while fixing the original problem. Reported-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
