    [GFS2] Remove local exclusive glock mode · 1c0f4872
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
    the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the
    call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case.
    
    Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
    the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
    code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
    lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
    same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
    as globally exclusive).
