Hi, Before this patch , if an error was detected from glock function go_sync by function do_xmote, it would return. But the function had temporarily unlocked the gl_lockref spin_lock, and it never re-locked it. When the caller of do_xmote tried to unlock it again, it was already unlocked, which resulted in a corrupted spin_lock value.
This patch changes the "return" to "goto out" so the spin_lock gets proper re-locked upon exit.
