XFS: Observed Crash followed by deadlock of khubd/sync/XFS

Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4
Target: ARM

Observed while doing:
Copy some file (any size, I tried with 10MB, 100MB) to XFS partition
After Copy do‘sync’
Now immediately, unplug the device.

Again plugging the USB does not work because ‘umount’ process which
resulted in the crash has not returned properly and the lock is kept
held.
When I check the state of ‘khubd’ and ‘sync’ they both lie in ‘D –
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE’ state and if their back-trace is checked at that
point.

For Khubd:

For Sync:
Backtrace:
[<c02f6524>] (schedule+0x0/0x50c)
[<c02f8988>] (__down_read+0x0/0x130)
[<c02f7ee4>] (down_read+0x0/0x14)
[<c00c31a8>] (iterate_supers+0x0/0xfc)
[<c00e4690>] (sync_filesystems+0x0/0x2c)
[<c00e47c4>] (sys_sync+0x0/0x44)

Both are stuck, waiting to acquire a semaphore ‘sb->s_umount’
During umount – which gets called when a device is unplugged flow is:
Sys_umount()…deactivate_super()deactivate_locked_super()kill_block_super()generic_shutdown_super()
This semaphore is taken in deactivate super and released in
generic_shutdown_super() – ‘up_write(&sb->s_umount)’, but due to “NULL
pointer dereference” crash it is not called.

While for “NULL pointer deference” crash it shows the PC at:
Xfs_log_move_tail() while accessing ‘log’	
if (XLOG_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(log))
		return;

Changing the condition takes crash to other places.

Has anyone observed this scenario? Please advice something on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Sahrawat
