Brian Foster 45a841719f xfs: drain the buf delwri queue before xfsaild idles
commit f376b45e861d8b7b34bf0eceeecfdd00dbe65cde upstream.

xfsaild is racy with respect to transaction abort and shutdown in
that the task can idle or exit with an empty AIL but buffers still
on the delwri queue. This was partly addressed by cancelling the
delwri queue before the task exits to prevent memory leaks, but it's
also possible for xfsaild to empty and idle with buffers on the
delwri queue. For example, a transaction that pins a buffer that
also happens to sit on the AIL delwri queue will explicitly remove
the associated log item from the AIL if the transaction aborts. The
side effect of this is an unmount hang in xfs_wait_buftarg() as the
associated buffers remain held by the delwri queue indefinitely.
This is reproduced on repeated runs of generic/531 with an fs format
(-mrmapbt=1 -bsize=1k) that happens to also reproduce transaction
aborts.

Update xfsaild to not idle until both the AIL and associated delwri
queue are empty and update the push code to continue delwri queue
submission attempts even when the AIL is empty. This allows the AIL
to eventually release aborted buffers stranded on the delwri queue
when they are unlocked by the associated transaction. This should
have no significant effect on normal runtime behavior because the
xfsaild currently idles only when the AIL is empty and in practice
the AIL is rarely empty with a populated delwri queue. The items
must be AIL resident to land in the queue in the first place and
generally aren't removed until writeback completes.

Note that the pre-existing delwri queue cancel logic in the exit
path is retained because task stop is external, could technically
come at any point, and xfsaild is still responsible to release its
buffer references before it exits.

README

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.
