Dave Chinner 1e473279f4 xfs: fix double xfs_perag_rele() in xfs_filestream_pick_ag()
xfs_bmap_longest_free_extent() can return an error when accessing
the AGF fails. In this case, the behaviour of
xfs_filestream_pick_ag() is conditional on the error. We may
continue the loop, or break out of it. The error handling after the
loop cleans up the perag reference held when the break occurs. If we
continue, the next loop iteration handles cleaning up the perag
reference.

EIther way, we don't need to release the active perag reference when
xfs_bmap_longest_free_extent() fails. Doing so means we do a double
decrement on the active reference count, and this causes tha active
reference count to fall to zero. At this point, new active
references will fail.

This leads to unmount hanging because it tries to grab active
references to that perag, only for it to fail. This happens inside a
loop that retries until a inode tree radix tree tag is cleared,
which cannot happen because we can't get an active reference to the
perag.

The unmount livelocks in this path:

  xfs_reclaim_inodes+0x80/0xc0
  xfs_unmount_flush_inodes+0x5b/0x70
  xfs_unmountfs+0x5b/0x1a0

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
