xfs: fix for hang during synchronous buffer write error If removed storage while synchronous buffer write underway, "xfslogd" hangs. Detailed log http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2011-07/msg00740.html Related work bfc60177f8ab509bc225becbb58f7e53a0e33e81 "xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writes" Given that xfs_bwrite actually does the shutdown already after waiting for the b_iodone completion and given that we actually found that calling xfs_force_shutdown from inside xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks was a major contributor the problem it better to drop this call.
