GFS2: Post-VFS scale update for RCU path walk
We can allow a few more cases to use RCU path walking than originally allowed. It should be possible to also enable RCU path walking when the glock is already cached. Thats a bit more complicated though, so left for a future patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
