I'm currently debugging a customer issue where we run into a softlockup in xfs_finish_writeback, and consequently a lot of stuck buffered writeback. I'm still not sure what the root cause it as it is very hard to reproduce, but one thing that sprang to mind again is the hairy nature of end_buffer_async_write, especially combined with our loop that calls it. This patch avoids these pitfalls by opencoding end_buffer_async_write. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
