GFS2: Wake up io waiters whenever a flush is done
Before this patch, if a process called function gfs2_log_reserve to reserve some journal blocks, but the journal not enough blocks were free, it would call io_schedule. However, in the log flush daemon, it woke up the waiters only if an gfs2_ail_flush was no longer required. This resulted in situations where processes would wait forever because the number of blocks required was so high that it pushed the journal into a perpetual state of flush being required. This patch changes the logd daemon so that it wakes up io waiters every time the log is actually flushed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
