mainlining shenanigans
df5db5f9ee
Before this patch, run_queue would demote glocks based on whether there are any more holders. But if the glock has pending revokes that haven't been written to the media, giving up the glock might end in file system corruption if the revokes never get written due to io errors, node crashes and fences, etc. In that case, another node will replay the metadata blocks associated with the glock, but because the revoke was never written, it could replay that block even though the glock had since been granted to another node who might have made changes. This patch changes the logic in run_queue so that it never demotes a glock until its count of pending revokes reaches zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
