This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xfs: up(ic_sema) if flushing data device fails to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xfs-up-ic_sema-if-flushing-data-device-fails.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 69c011d2a20e37461246216ade0501eff863e090 Author: Leah Rumancik <leah.rumancik@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 8 15:20:47 2024 -0800 xfs: up(ic_sema) if flushing data device fails commit 471de20303dda0b67981e06d59cc6c4a83fd2a3c upstream. We flush the data device cache before we issue external log IO. If the flush fails, we shut down the log immediately and return. However, the iclog->ic_sema is left in a decremented state so let's add an up(). Prior to this patch, xfs/438 would fail consistently when running with an external log device: sync -> xfs_log_force -> xlog_write_iclog -> down(&iclog->ic_sema) -> blkdev_issue_flush (fail causes us to intiate shutdown) -> xlog_force_shutdown -> return unmount -> xfs_log_umount -> xlog_wait_iclog_completion -> down(&iclog->ic_sema) --------> HANG There is a second early return / shutdown. Make sure the up() happens for it as well. Also make sure we cleanup the iclog state, xlog_state_done_syncing, before dropping the iclog lock.
