Circular locking dependency check reports warning[1], that's because the btrfs_scrub_dev() calls the stack #0 below with, the fs_info::scrub_lock held. The test case leading to this warning: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /btrfs $ btrfs scrub start -B /btrfs In fact we have fs_info::scrub_workers_refcnt to track if the init and destroy of the scrub workers are needed. So once we have incremented and decremented the fs_info::scrub_workers_refcnt value in the thread, its ok to drop the scrub_lock, and then actually do the btrfs_destroy_workqueue() part. So this patch drops the scrub_lock before calling btrfs_destroy_workqueue().
