Subject: [PATCH V2] make inode reclaim synchronise with xfs_iflush_done()
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:19:49 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47AA86E5.5030804@sgi.com> (raw)

On a forced shutdown, xfs_finish_reclaim() will skip flushing the inode.
If the inode flush lock is not already held and there is an outstanding
xfs_iflush_done() then we might free the inode prematurely.  By acquiring
and releasing the flush lock we will synchronise with xfs_iflush_done().
