We need to allow some glocks to be enqueued, dequeued, promoted, and demoted when we're withdrawn. For example, to maintain metadata integrity, we should disallow the use of inode and rgrp glocks when withdrawn. Other glocks, like iopen or the transaction glocks may be safely used because none of their metadata goes through the journal. So in general, we should disallow all glocks with an address space, and allow all the others. One exception is: we need to allow our active journal to be demoted so others may recover it. Allowing glocks after withdraw gives us the ability to take appropriate action (in a following patch) to have our journal properly replayed by another node rather than just abandoning the current transactions and pretending nothing bad happened, leaving the other nodes free to modify the blocks we had in our journal, which may result in file system corruption.

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.
