Under certain conditions, lru_count may drop below zero resulting in
a large amount of log spam like this:
vmscan: shrink_slab: gfs2_dump_glock+0x3b0/0x630 [gfs2] \
negative objects to delete nr=-1
This happens as follows:
1) A glock is moved from lru_list to the dispose list and lru_count is
decremented.
2) The dispose function calls cond_resched() and drops the lru lock.
3) Another thread takes the lru lock and tries to add the same glock to
lru_list, checking if the glock is on an lru list.
4) It is on a list (actually the dispose list) and so it avoids
incrementing lru_count.
5) The glock is moved to lru_list.
5) The original thread doesn't dispose it because it has been re-added
to the lru list but the lru_count has still decreased by one.
Fix by checking if the LRU flag is set on the glock rather than checking
if the glock is on some list and rearrange the code so that the LRU flag
is added/removed precisely when the glock is added/removed from lru_list.

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.
