From: Raghavendra D Prabhu <rprabhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> This is to prevent xfs_log_force from printing error message continuously (due to xfs_sync and others) 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 fix this, added condition over XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN to xfs_log_force and xfs_fs_sync_fs. To simulate it, mount an xfs filesystem located on external disk, and then pull the power to the disk. Now, the dmesg 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) Version 1: Removed calling xfs_syncd_stop from xfs_sync_worker. Version 2: Removed calling xfs_fs_writable in xfs_sync_worker and xfs_flush_worker. Version 3: Removed calling xfs_syncd_stop in xfs_bwrite. Version 4: Added return statements to xfs_log_force and xfs_fs_sync_fs. Version 5: As per suggestion, removed EIO return in xfs_log_force.
