Re: [PATCH] [PATCH] Stop periodic syncing if filesystem is already shutdown.

Hi,

Apparently calling xfs_syncd_stop from xfs_sync_worker doesn't work well; So I have moved it to xfs_bwrite; though with this I noticed a 2-3 log force errors at flush and umount. Here is the revised version.

Subject: [PATCH] Stop periodic syncing if filesystem is already shutdown.

This is to prevent xfs_log_force from running ad-infinitum (due to xfs_sync) till umount if the disk has been forcefully unplugged.

This is to prevent messages like these from being displayed repeatedly.

[ 3873.009329] XFS (sdb3): xfs_log_force: error 5 returned.

Note, that even after xfs_do_force_shutdown has been called, xfs_log_force
doesn't stop till the filesystem has been unmounted (and it keeps printing
"error 5 returned" to kernel log).

To simulate it, mount an xfs filesystem located on external disk, and then pull
the power to the disk (non-usb powered disk).

Tested it on latest linus tree.
Now, the kernel log looks,

[  268.307303] XFS (sdb2): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x1) called from line 1031 of file fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c.  Return address = 0xffffffff8127c13a
[  268.307318] XFS (sdb2): I/O Error Detected. Shutting down filesystem
[  268.307323] XFS (sdb2): Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)

Since, xfs_syncd_stop is already called in xfs_bwrite; the message is not
printed; also added checks in xfs_sync_worker and xfs_flush_worker to return in
this case (if they have already been entered).
