Merge tag 'gfs2-4.17.fixes2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2
Pull more gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We decided to request the latest three patches to be merged into this
merge window while it's still open.
- The first patch adds a new function to lockref:
lockref_put_not_zero
- The second patch fixes GFS2's glock dump code so it uses the new
lockref function. This fixes a problem whereby lock dumps could
miss glocks.
- I made a minor patch to update some comments and fix the lock
ordering text in our gfs2-glocks.txt Documentation file"

Glock locking order within GFS2:
|
||||
|
||||
1. i_mutex (if required)
|
||||
1. i_rwsem (if required)
|
||||
2. Rename glock (for rename only)
|
||||
3. Inode glock(s)
|
||||
(Parents before children, inodes at "same level" with same parent in
|
||||
lock number order)
|
||||
4. Rgrp glock(s) (for (de)allocation operations)
|
||||
5. Transaction glock (via gfs2_trans_begin) for non-read operations
|
||||
6. Page lock (always last, very important!)
|
||||
6. i_rw_mutex (if required)
|
||||
7. Page lock (always last, very important!)
|
||||
|
||||
There are two glocks per inode. One deals with access to the inode
|
||||
itself (locking order as above), and the other, known as the iopen
