Subject: [PATCH,RESUBMIT] Fix shrink_dcache_parent() against shrink_dcache_memory() race
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 19:43:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060301184335.GD31712@hasse.suse.de> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 738 bytes --]
Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> discovered a race between shrink_dcache_parent()
and shrink_dcache_memory() which leads to "Busy inodes after unmount".
When unmounting a file system shrink_dcache_parent() is racing against a
possible shrink_dcache_memory(). This might lead to the situation that
shrink_dcache_parent() is returning too early. In this situation the
super_block is destroyed before shrink_dcache_memory() could put the inode.
This patch fixes the problem through introducing a prunes counter which is
incremented when a dentry is pruned but the corresponding inoded isn't put
yet.When the prunes counter is not null, shrink_dcache_parent() is waiting and
restarting its work.
