xfs: shutdown after buf release in iflush cluster abort path
If xfs_iflush_cluster() fails due to corruption, the error path issues a shutdown and simulates an I/O completion to release the buffer. This code has a couple small problems. First, the shutdown sequence can issue a synchronous log force, which is unsafe to do with buffer locks held. Second, the simulated I/O completion does not guarantee the buffer is async and thus is unlocked and released. For example, if the last operation on the buffer was a read off disk prior to the corruption event, XBF_ASYNC is not set and the buffer is left locked and held upon return. This results in a memory leak as shown by the following message on module unload: BUG xfs_buf (...): Objects remaining in xfs_buf on __kmem_cache_shutdown() Fix both of these problems by setting XBF_ASYNC on the buffer prior to the simulated I/O error and performing the shutdown immediately after ioend processing when the buffer has been released.
