If I run an fs_mark job that creates millions of empty files and then immediately unmount the file system I will get a softlockup during unmount. This box has ~140gb of RAM so we never hit sufficient memory pressure to evict enough inodes during the runtime of the benchmark, which means I see around 80 million inodes being evicted at unmount time. With this patch my box no longer softlocks up.
