    GFS2: Flush the GFS2 delete workqueue before stopping the kernel threads · 4d7cf69b

    [ Upstream commit 1eb8d738 ]
    
    Flushing the workqueue can cause operations to happen which might
    call gfs2_log_reserve(), or get stuck waiting for locks taken by such
    operations.  gfs2_log_reserve() can io_schedule(). If this happens, it
    will never wake because the only thing which can wake it is gfs2_logd()
    which was already stopped.
    
    This causes umount of a gfs2 filesystem to wedge permanently if, for
    example, the umount immediately follows a large delete operation.
    
    When this occured, the following stack trace was obtained from the
    umount command
