Linux kernel source tree
c412a97cf6
Before this patch, delete_work_func() would check for the GLF_DEMOTE flag on the iopen glock and if set, it would perform special processing. However, there was a race whereby the GLF_DEMOTE flag could be set by another process after the check. Then when it called gfs2_lookup_by_inum() which calls gfs2_inode_lookup(), it tried to lock the iopen glock in SH mode, but the GLF_DEMOTE flag prevented the request from being granted. But the iopen glock could never be demoted because that happens when the inode is evicted, and the evict was never completed because of the failed lookup. To fix that, change function gfs2_inode_lookup() so that when GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED inodes are searched, it uses the LM_FLAG_TRY flag for the iopen glock. If the locking request fails, fail gfs2_inode_lookup() with -EAGAIN so that delete_work_func() can retry the operation later.

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 Restructured Text 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.
