Use nfs_sb_deactive_async instead of nfs_sb_deactive when in a workqueue context. This avoids a deadlock where rpc_shutdown_client loops forever in a workqueue kworker context, trying to kill all RPC tasks associated with the client, while one or more of these tasks have already been assigned to the same kworker (and will never run rpc_exit_task). This approach is needed because RPC tasks that have already been assigned to a kworker by queue_work cannot be canceled, as explained in the comment for workqueue.c:insert_wq_barrier. Signed-off-by: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com> --- This version calls kthread_run *only* when deactivate_super will result in an umount -- the previous version could cause many unneeded kthread_runs with certain workloads. fs/nfs/inode.c | 5 ++++- fs/nfs/internal.h | 1 + fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 2 +- fs/nfs/super.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/nfs/unlink.c | 2 +- 5 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
