gfs2: gfs2_evict_inode: Put glocks asynchronously
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
gfs2_evict_inode is called to free inodes under memory pressure.  The
function calls into DLM when an inode's last cluster-wide reference goes
away (remote unlink) and to release the glock and associated DLM lock
before finally destroying the inode.  However, if DLM is blocked on
memory to become available, calling into DLM again will deadlock.

Avoid that by decoupling releasing glocks from destroying inodes in that
case: with gfs2_glock_queue_put, glocks will be dequeued asynchronously
in work queue context, when the associated inodes have likely already
been destroyed.

With this change, inodes can end up being unlinked, remote-unlink can be
triggered, and then the inode can be reallocated before all
remote-unlink callbacks are processed.  To detect that, revalidate the
link count in gfs2_evict_inode to make sure we're not deleting an
allocated, referenced inode.
