gfs2: fix a deadlock on withdraw-during-mount
Before this patch, gfs2 would deadlock because of the following sequence during mount: mount gfs2_fill_super gfs2_make_fs_rw <--- Detects IO error with glock kthread_stop(sdp->sd_quotad_process); <--- Blocked waiting for quotad to finish logd Detects IO error and the need to withdraw calls gfs2_withdraw gfs2_make_fs_ro kthread_stop(sdp->sd_quotad_process); <--- Blocked waiting for quotad to finish gfs2_quotad gfs2_statfs_sync gfs2_glock_wait <---- Blocked waiting for statfs glock to be granted glock_work_func do_xmote <---Detects IO error, can't release glock: blocked on withdraw glops->go_inval glock_blocked_by_withdraw requeue glock work & exit <--- work requeued, blocked by withdraw This patch makes a special exception for the statfs system inode glock, which allows the statfs glock UNLOCK to proceed normally. That allows the quotad daemon to exit during the withdraw, which allows the logd daemon to exit during the withdraw, which allows the mount to exit.
