gfs2: Do log_flush in gfs2_ail_empty_gl even if ail list is empty
Before this patch, if gfs2_ail_empty_gl saw there was nothing on the ail list, it would return and not flush the log. The problem is that there could still be a revoke for the rgrp sitting on the sd_log_le_revoke list that's been recently taken off the ail list. But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval still needs to call log_flush_wait to ensure the revokes are all properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal replayed, in which case the missing revoke would allow the journal replay to replay the rgrp over top of the rgrp we already gave to another node, thus overwriting its changes and corrupting the file system. This patch makes gfs2_ail_empty_gl still call gfs2_log_flush rather than returning. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
