Before this patch, if function __gfs2_ail_flush detected an error syncing the ail list, it call gfs2_ail_error which called gfs2_withdraw. Since __gfs2_ail_flush deals with a specific glock, we shouldn't withdraw immediately because the withdraw code (signal_our_withdraw) uses glocks in its processing. This patch changes the call from gfs2_withdraw to gfs2_withdraw_delayed which defers the withdraw until a more appropriate context, such as the logd daemon, discovers the intent to withdraw.

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.
