You're right about the revokes; my bad. Here is a respin, with just
a comment in the patch rather than in the code:

Hi,

In function gfs2_evict_inode, there was a call to gfs2_log_flush
that is unnecessary because it immediately calls write_inode_now
which makes another call to gfs2_log_flush. This patch eliminates
the redundant log flush.

Regards,
