GFS2: Flush the GFS2 delete workqueue before stopping the kernel threads
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Flushing the workqueue can cause operations to happen which might
call gfs2_log_reserve(), or get stuck waiting for locks taken by such
operations.  gfs2_log_reserve() can io_schedule(). If this happens, it
will never wake because the only thing which can wake it is gfs2_logd()
which was already stopped.

This causes umount of a gfs2 filesystem to wedge permanently if, for
example, the umount immediately follows a large delete operation.

When this occured, the following stack trace was obtained from the
umount command
