Right now, we can end up calling cancel_delayed_work_sync from within
delete_work_func via gfs2_lookup_by_inum -> gfs2_inode_lookup ->
gfs2_cancel_delete_work. When that happens, it will result in a
deadlock. Instead, gfs2_inode_lookup should skip the call to
gfs2_cancel_delete_work when called from delete_work_func (blktype ==
GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED).

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.
