Re: [PATCH] gfs2: Fix deadlock between gfs2_create_inode and delete_work_func

In gfs2_create_inode, make sure to cancel any pending delete work before locking the inode glock. Otherwise, gfs2_cancel_delete_work may block waiting for delete_work_func to complete, and delete_work_func may block trying to acquire the inode glock in gfs2_inode_lookup.

(Please see version 2 of this patch.)

Thanks, Andreas
