    GFS2: aggressively issue revokes in gfs2_log_flush · 5d054964
    Benjamin Marzinski authored
    This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions
    on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list.  Then it
    issues revokes for these blocks.  This will hopefully speed things up
    in situations where there is a lot of contention for glocks, especially
    if they are acquired serially.
    
    revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these
    preemptive revokes. The amount of reserved log space that
    gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra
    block.
    
    This patch also consolidates the common revoke instructions into one
    function, gfs2_add_revoke().
