>From 39ed6be8a2c12dfe54feaa5abbc2ec46103022bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 11:59:08 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] bdi: wake up concurrent wb_shutdown() callers. syzbot is reporting hung tasks at wait_on_bit(WB_shutting_down) in wb_shutdown() [1]. This might be because commit 5318ce7d46866e1d ("bdi: Shutdown writeback on all cgwbs in cgwb_bdi_destroy()") forgot to call wake_up_bit(WB_shutting_down) after clear_bit(WB_shutting_down).
