Similar to xfs_file_fsync(), I think xfs_dir_fsync() needs
to test for a shut down fs,

It probably should.

lest we go down paths we'll
never be able to complete; Boris reported that during some
stress tests he had threads stuck in xlog_cil_force_lsn
via xfs_dir_fsync().

But this could still happen if we get a shutdown coming in after that
test.

True... that looked a bit hairier to sort out.  :(

Are the sync lsn look okay? Was there an error writing the iclog buffer?

xfs_do_force_shutdown() will also do a xlog_cil_force_lsn() via the xfs_log_force_umount if the log buffer write was not in error. That should be the same or later than this lsn.

--Mark.
