Chris:

FYI - all five of my test systems have now finished my standard test
cycle on the -unstable master branch, and I've not seen a single hang.
So, your fix for the async thread shutdown race seems to have fixed my
problems, even if Steve's still seeing trouble.

I'll note that the running times for fsstress on some of my systems have
become rather longer with btrfs-unstable/master kernels - 3.5 rather
than 2.5 hours on multidevice filesystems. Running times on single
device filesystems are roughly the same.

I'm going to start another set of tests for thoroughness unless you've
got more patches coming.

Thanks,
Eric
