GFS2: Fix race in glock lru glock disposal
We must not leave items on the LRU list with GLF_LOCK set, since they can be removed if the glock is brought back into use, which may then potentially result in a hang, waiting for GLF_LOCK to clear. It doesn't happen very often, since it requires a glock that has not been used for a long time to be brought back into use at the same moment that the shrinker is part way through disposing of glocks. The fix is to set GLF_LOCK at a later time, when we already know that the other locks can be obtained. Also, we now only release the lru_lock in case a resched is needed, rather than on every iteration. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
