One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something. I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported I'll remove the counter for good. (I had this print as a debug output for a long time and never had it trigger) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/exofs/super.c | 4 ++++ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/exofs/super.c b/fs/exofs/super.c index 2fa6df9..c4657db 100644 --- a/fs/exofs/super.c +++ b/fs/exofs/super.c @@ -409,6 +409,10 @@ static void exofs_put_super(struct super_block *sb) for (num_pend = atomic_read(&sbi->s_curr_pending); num_pend > 0; num_pend = atomic_read(&sbi->s_curr_pending)) { wait_queue_head_t wq; + + printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: !!Pending operations in flight.
