In xen_blkif_disconnect, before checking inflight I/O, following code stops the blkback thread, if (ring->xenblkd) { kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd); wake_up(&ring->shutdown_wq); } If there is inflight I/O in any non-last queue, blkback returns -EBUSY directly, and above code would not be called to stop thread of remaining queue and processs them. When removing vbd device with lots of disk I/O load, some queues with inflight I/O still have blkback thread running even though the corresponding vbd device or guest is gone. And this could cause some problems, for example, if the backend device type is file, some loop devices and blkback thread always lingers there forever after guest is destroyed, and this causes failure of umounting repositories unless rebooting the dom0. This patch allows thread of every queue has the chance to get stopped. Otherwise, only thread of queue previous to(including) first busy one get stopped, blkthread of remaining queue will still run. So stop all threads properly and return -EBUSY if any queue has inflight I/O.
