From 3b9d4e773c20b34534c46e563103071f2f540bf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 21:48:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: wait for log to commit when umounting (cherry picked from commit d4edac314e9ad0b21ba20ba8bc61b61f186f79e1) There is a potential race when a transaction is committing right when the file system is being umounting. This could reduce in a race because EXT4_SB(sb)->s_group_info could be freed in ext4_put_super before the commit code calls a callback so the mballoc code can release freed blocks in the transaction, resulting in a panic trying to access the freed s_group_info. The fix is to wait for the transaction to finish committing before we shutdown the multiblock allocator.
