Ryusuke Konishi bc9cee50a4 nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()
commit eb85dace897c5986bc2f36b3c783c6abb8a4292e upstream.

Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called
during nilfs2 unmount.

Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which
synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after
nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace
below:

nilfs_detach_log_writer
  nilfs_segctor_destroy
    nilfs_segctor_kill_thread  --> Shut down log writer thread
    flush_work
      nilfs_iput_work_func
        nilfs_dispose_list
          iput
            nilfs_evict_inode
              nilfs_transaction_commit
                nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)
                  nilfs_segctor_sync  --> Attempt to synchronize with
                                          log writer thread
                           *** DEADLOCK ***

Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer
thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by
forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread
terminates.

The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the
subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy().

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.
