 ext4: fix a race in the ext4 shutdown path 2018-01-10T05:13:13+00:00 Harshad Shirwadkar harshads@google.com 2018-01-10T05:13:13+00:00 abbc3f9395c76d554a9ed27d4b1ebfb5d9b0e4ca This patch fixes a race between the shutdown path and bio completion handling. In the ext4 direct io path with async io, after submitting a bio to the block layer, if journal starting fails, ext4_direct_IO_write() would bail out pretending that the IO failed. The caller would have had no way of knowing whether or not the IO was successfully submitted. So instead, we return -EIOCBQUEUED in this case. Now, the caller knows that the IO was submitted. The bio completion handler takes care of the error. Tested: Ran the shutdown xfstest test 461 in loop for over 2 hours across 4 machines resulting in over 400 runs. Verified that the race didn't occur. Usually the race was seen in about 20-30 iterations.
