[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] gfs2: Delay withdraw from atomic context

[Bob Peterson]

Before this patch, if function __gfs2_ail_flush detected an error
syncing the ail list, it call gfs2_ail_error which called gfs2_withdraw.
Since __gfs2_ail_flush deals with a specific glock, we shouldn't withdraw
immediately because the withdraw code (signal_our_withdraw) uses glocks
in its processing.

This patch changes the call from gfs2_withdraw to gfs2_withdraw_delayed
which defers the withdraw until a more appropriate context, such as the
logd daemon, discovers the intent to withdraw.
