gfs2: clear journal live bit in gfs2_log_flush
When gfs2 was unmounting filesystems or changing them to read-only it was clearing the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit before the final log flush. This caused a race. If an inode glock got demoted in the gap between clearing the bit and the shutdown flush, it would be unable to reserve log space to clear out the active items list in inode_go_sync, causing an error in inode_go_inval because the glock was still dirty. To solve this, the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit is now cleared inside the shutdown log flush. This means that, because of the locking on the log blocks, either inode_go_sync will be able to reserve space to clean the glock before the shutdown flush, or the shutdown flush will clean the glock itself, before inode_go_sync fails to reserve the space. Either way, the glock will be clean before inode_go_inval. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
