File system withdraws can be delayed when inconsistencies are discovered when we cannot withdraw immediately, for example, when critical spin_locks are held. But delaying the withdraw can cause gfs2 to ignore the error and keep running for a short period of time. For example, an rgrp glock may be dequeued and demoted while there are still buffers that haven't been properly revoked, due to io errors writing to the journal. This patch introduces a new concept of a pending withdraw, which means an inconsistency has been discovered and we need to withdraw at the earliest possible opportunity. In these cases, we aren't quite withdrawn yet, but we still need to not dequeue glocks and other critical things. If we dequeue the glocks and the withdraw results in our journal being replayed, the replay could overwrite data that's been modified by a different node that acquired the glock in the meantime.

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.
