Hi Jens, hi Tetsuo, this series uses the approach from Tetsuo to delay the destroy_workueue call, extended by a delayed teardown of the workers to fix a potential race window then the workqueue can be still round after finishing the commands. Changes since v2: - rebased to the lastest block for-next tree, which has the async clear reverted and ->free_disk - impkement ->free_disk for loop to handle open vs delete races more gracefully - get rid of lo_refcnt entirely Changes since v1: - add comments to document the lo_refcnt synchronization - fix comment typos
