# echo 0 > /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/fail_at_unmount

And now any error with a "retry forever" config (the default) will
be collected by xfs_buftarg_wait() without a preceeding shutdown as
xfs_buf_iodone_callback_error() will not treat it as a permanent
error during unmount. i.e. this doesn't trigger:

        /* At unmount we may treat errors differently */
        if ((mp->m_flags & XFS_MOUNT_UNMOUNTING) && mp->m_fail_unmount)
                goto permanent_error;

and so the error handling just marks it with a write error and lets
it go for a write retry in future. These are then collected in
xfs_buftarg_wait() as nothing is going to retry them once unmount
gets to this point...

Cheers,

Dave.
