Merge tag 'gfs2-4.17.fixes2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2
Pull more gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We decided to request the latest three patches to be merged into this
merge window while it's still open.
- The first patch adds a new function to lockref:
lockref_put_not_zero
- The second patch fixes GFS2's glock dump code so it uses the new
lockref function. This fixes a problem whereby lock dumps could
miss glocks.
- I made a minor patch to update some comments and fix the lock
ordering text in our gfs2-glocks.txt Documentation file"
* tag 'gfs2-4.17.fixes2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2:
GFS2: Minor improvements to comments and documentation
gfs2: Stop using rhashtable_walk_peek
