This patch closes a timing window in which two processes compete
and overlap in the execution of do_xmote for the same glock:
Process A Process B
------------------------------------ -----------------------------
1. Grabs gl_lockref and calls do_xmote
2. Grabs gl_lockref but is blocked
3. Sets GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
4. Unlocks gl_lockref
5. Calls do_xmote
6. Call glops->go_sync
7. test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
8. Call gfs2_log_flush Call glops->go_sync
9. (slow IO, so it blocks a long time) test_and_clear_bit GLF_DIRTY
It's not dirty (step 7) returns
10. Tests GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
11. Calls go_inval (rgrp_go_inval)
12. gfs2_rgrp_relse does brelse
13. truncate_inode_pages_range
14. Calls lm_lock UN
In step 14 we've just told dlm to give the glock to another node
when, in fact, process A has not finished the IO and synced all
buffer_heads to disk and make sure their revokes are done.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the GLF_INVALIDATE_IN_PROGRESS
to use test_and_set_bit, and if the bit is already set, process B just
ignores it and trusts that process A will do the do_xmote in the proper
order.

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.
