Linus Torvalds 6fffab6676 dlm for 6.10
- Fix a long standing race between the unlock callback for the last lkb
 struct, and removing the rsb that became unused after the final unlock.
 This could lead different nodes to inconsistent info about the rsb master
 node.
 
 - Remove unnecessary refcounting on callback structs, returning to the way
 things were done in the past.
 
 - Do message processing in softirq context.  This allows dlm messages to
 be cleared more quickly and efficiently, reducing long lists of incomplete
 requests.  A future change to run callbacks directly from this context
 will make this more effective.
 
 - The softirq message processing involved a number of patches changing
 mutexes to spinlocks and rwlocks, and a fair amount of code re-org in
 preparation.
 
 - Use an rhashtable for rsb structs, rather than our old internal hash
 table implementation.  This also required some re-org of lists and locks
 preparation for the change.
 
 - Drop the dlm_scand kthread, and use timers to clear unused rsb structs.
 Scanning all rsb's periodically was a lot of wasted work.
 
 - Fix recent regression in logic for copying LVB data in user space lock
 requests.

 "This set includes some small fixes, and some big internal changes:

   - Fix a long standing race between the unlock callback for the last

     unlock. This could lead different nodes to inconsistent info about
     the rsb master node.

     the way things were done in the past.

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 reStructuredText 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.
