[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 2 of 5]Bz #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block, gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer

[Bob Peterson]

This is patch 2 of 5 for bug #248176.

The list_move code previously concocted in log.c for bug #238162
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238162#c23)
seems to be causing a problem.  That section was reverted.  HOWEVER,
I need to rerun the test cases listed in that bug to make sure
removing it doesn't cause anything to break.  I haven't had time yet.
