The current withdraw code duplicates the journal recovery code gfs2
already has for dealing with node failures, and it does so poorly. That
code was added because when releasing a lockspace, we didn't have a way
to indicate that the lockspace needs recovery. We now do have this
feature, so the current withdraw code can be removed almost entirely.
This is one of several steps towards that.
The withdrawing node has no role in recovering from the withdraw
anymore, so it also no longer needs to read metadata blocks after a
withdraw.
We now only need to set a single bit in gfs2_withdraw(), so switch from
try_cmpxchg() to test_and_set_bit().
Reverts commit 8cc67f704f ("gfs2: don't stop reads while withdraw in
progress").

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 reStructuredText 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.
