    xfs: fix iclog release error check race with shutdown · 6b789c33
    Brian Foster authored
    Prior to commit df732b29 ("xfs: call xlog_state_release_iclog with
    l_icloglock held"), xlog_state_release_iclog() always performed a
    locked check of the iclog error state before proceeding into the
    sync state processing code. As of this commit, part of
    xlog_state_release_iclog() was open-coded into
    xfs_log_release_iclog() and as a result the locked error state check
    was lost.
    
    The lockless check still exists, but this doesn't account for the
    possibility of a race with a shutdown being performed by another
    task causing the iclog state to change while the original task waits
    on ->l_icloglock. This has reproduced very rarely via generic/475
    and manifests as an assert failure in __xlog_state_release_iclog()
    due to an unexpected iclog state.
    
    Restore the locked error state check in xlog_state_release_iclog()
    to ensure that an iclog state update via shutdown doesn't race with
    the iclog release state processing code.
    
    Fixes: df732b29 ("xfs: call xlog_state_release_iclog with l_icloglock held")
