If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shan Hai commit 3943b040f11ed0cc6d4585fd286a623ca8634547 upstream. The writeback thread would exit with a lock held when the cache device is detached via sysfs interface, fix it by releasing the held lock before exiting the while-loop.
