This patch implements Ben Marzinkski's idea of using two locks
as different layers of protection inside the gfs2_log_flush.
To quote Ben:
You would need two locks, the regular log lock [sd_log_flush_lock],
and the updating log lock [sd_log_updating_lock]. Calling
gfs2_log_flush would grab and later release the updating log lock,
just like it currently grabs and releases sd_log_flush_lock.
Everything else that currently grabs sd_log_flush_lock, like
gfs2_log_reserve(), would grab the regular log lock instead.
(No changes if we define regular log lock == log_flush_lock.
In a normal log flush, you would grab the regular log lock
[log_flush_lock], call gfs2_log_flush, which would grab and
later release the updating log lock, and after it returned,
drop the regular log lock. In this case, the two locks would
both lock basically the same code.
For syncs [that] don't care if new data is written after the
call to sync, you could do the same as rhel7 gfs2_meta_syncfs()
[did in RHEL7], grabbing the regular log lock [gfs2_log_flush_lock]
before each of the calls to gfs_log_flush(), and dropping after
each return. Again, the two locks would basically lock the
same code.
For syncs where you need to be sure that no new data is coming
in, like freezes and shutdowns, you need to grab the regular
log lock, call gfs2_log_flush(), clean out the active items list
like [rhel7's] gfs2_meta_syncfs() does, and then call
gfs2_log_flush again, this time with the freeze or shutdown type.
Only after both gfs2_log_flush() calls can you drop the regular
log lock. This would mean that when you are writing out the
active items in these syncing flushes, only the regular log lock
would be held. This is the only time you will be holding one
lock and not the other.
