because we held some back from the previous merge window until we
could get them perfected and well tested. We have a couple patch
sets, including my patch set for protecting glock gl_object and
Andreas Gruenbacher's patch set to fix the long-standing shrink-
slab hang, plus a bunch of assorted bugs and cleanups:
1. I fixed a bug whereby an IO error would lead to a double-brelse.
2. Andreas Gruenbacher made a minor cleanup to call his relatively
new function, gfs2_holder_initialized, rather than doing it
manually. This was just missed by a previous patch set.
3. Jan Kara fixed a bug whereby the SGID was being cleared when
inheriting ACLs.
4. Andreas found a bug and fixed it in his previous patch,
"Get rid of flush_delayed_work in gfs2_evict_inode". A call to
flush_delayed_work was deleted from *gfs2_inode_lookup and added
to gfs2_create_inode.
5. Wang Xibo found and fixed a list_add call in inode_go_lock
that specified the parameters in the wrong order.
6. Coly Li submitted a patch to add the REQ_PRIO to some of GFS2's
metadata reads that were accidentally missing them.
7 - 10. I submitted a 4-patch set to protect the glock gl_object
field. GFS2 was setting and checking gl_object with no locking
mechanism, so the value was occasionally stomped on, which caused
file system corruption.
11. I submitted a small cleanup to function gfs2_clear_rgrpd.
It was needlessly adding rgrp glocks to the lru list, then pulling
them back off immediately. The rgrp glocks don't use the lru list
anyway, so doing so was just a waste of time.
12. I submitted a patch that checks the GLOF_LRU flag on a glock
before trying to remove it from the lru_list. This avoids a lot
of unnecessary spin_lock contention.
13. I submitted a patch to delete GFS2's debugfs files only after
we evict all the glocks. Before this patch, GFS2 would delete the
debugfs files, and if unmount hung waiting for a glock, there was
no way to debug the problem. Now, if a hang occurs during umount,
we can examine the debugfs files to figure out why it's hung.
14. Andreas Gruenbacher submitted a patch to fix some trivial typos.
15 - 19. Andreas also submitted a five-part patch set to fix the
longstanding hang involving the slab shrinker: dlm requires
memory, calls the inode shrinker, which calls gfs2's evict, which
calls back into DLM before it can evict an inode.
20. Abhi Das submitted a patch to forcibly flush the active items
list to relieve memory pressure. This fixes a long-standing bug
whereby GFS2 was getting hung permanently in balance_dirty_pages.
21. Thomas Tai submitted a patch to fix a slab corruption problem
due to a residual pointer left in the lock_dlm lockstruct.
22. I submitted a patch to withdraw the file system if IO errors
are encountered while writing to the journals or statfs system
file which were previously not being sent back up. Before, some
IO errors were sometimes not be detected for several hours, and
at recovery time, the journal errors made journal replay
impossible.
23. Andreas has a patch to fix an annoying format-truncation compiler
warning so GFS2 compiles cleanly.
24. I have a patch that fixes a handful of sparse compiler warnings.
25. Andreas fixed up an useless gl_object warning caused by an
earlier patch.
26. Arvind Yadav added a patch to properly constify our rhashtable
params declare.
27. I added a patch to fix a regression caused by the non-recursive
delete and truncate patch that caused file system blocks to not
be properly freed.
28. Ernesto A. Fernández added a patch to fix a place where GFS2
would send back the wrong return code setting extended attributes.
29. Ernesto also added a patch to fix a case in which GFS2 was
improperly setting an inode's i_mode, potentially granting access
to the wrong users.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
