From 0c7a531a200480c7bc447260376973d830da9069 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:52:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Fix glock ref counting bug Depending on the ordering of events as we go around the glock shrinker loop, it is possible to drop the ref count of a glock incorrectly. It doesn't happen very often. This patch corrects the got_ref variable, fixing the problem.
