    GFS2: Don't waste time locking lru_lock for non-lru glocks · 645ebd49
    Bob Peterson authored
    Before this patch, glock_dq would call gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru.
    For glocks that are never put on the LRU, such as the transaction
    glock, this just takes the spin_lock, determines there's nothing to
    be done because the list is empty, then unlocks again. This was
    causing unnecessary lock contention on the lru_lock spin_lock.
    This patch adds a check for GLOF_LRU in the glops before taking
    the spin_lock.
