Before commit b77b4a4815 ("gfs2: Rework freeze / thaw logic"), the
freeze glock was kept around in the glock cache in shared mode without
being actively held while a filesystem is in thawed state. In that
state, memory pressure could have eventually evicted the freeze glock,
and the freeze_go_demote_ok callback was needed to prevent that from
happening.
With the freeze / thaw rework, the freeze glock is now always actively
held in shared mode while a filesystem is thawed, and the
freeze_go_demote_ok hack is no longer needed.

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.
