Before this patch, function gfs2_write_revokes would call gfs2_ail1_empty, then traverse the sd_ail1_list looking for transactions that had bds which were no longer queued to a glock. And if it found some, it would try to issue revokes for them, up to a predetermined maximum. There were two problems with how it did this. First was the fact that gfs2_ail1_empty moves transactions which have nothing remaining on the ail1 list from the sd_ail1_list to the sd_ail2_list, thus making its traversal of sd_ail1_list miss them completely, and therefore, never issue revokes for them. Second was the fact that there were three traversals (or partial traversals) of the sd_ail1_list, each of which took and then released the sd_ail_lock lock: First inside gfs2_ail1_empty, second to determine if there are any revokes to be issued, and third to actually issue them. All this taking and releasing of the sd_ail_lock meant other processes could modify the lists and the conditions in which we're working. This patch simplies the whole process by adding a new parameter to function gfs2_ail1_empty, max_revokes. For normal calls, this is passed in as 0, meaning we don't want to issue any revokes. For function gfs2_write_revokes, we pass in the maximum number of revokes we can, thus allowing gfs2_ail1_empty to add the revokes where needed. This simplies the code, allows for a single holding of the sd_ail_lock, and allows gfs2_ail1_empty to add revokes for all the necessary bd items without missing any.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
