Subject: [PATCH] use rcu_barrier() to wait for bdev puts at unmount
Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:23:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <513AC735.1090500@redhat.com> (raw)

Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:

# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
...
unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy

because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.

Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount.

Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
unmount completes.

p.s. I debated putting it into close_ctree(); I don't know if there' anything
else to wait for.  Thoughts?
