fsnotify: Fix busy inodes during unmount
Detaching of mark connector from fsnotify_put_mark() can race with unmounting of the filesystem like: CPU1 CPU2 fsnotify_put_mark() spin_lock(&conn->lock); ... inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn) spin_unlock(&conn->lock); generic_shutdown_super() fsnotify_unmount_inodes() sees connector detached for inode -> nothing to do evict_inode() barfs on pending inode reference iput(inode); Resulting in "Busy inodes after unmount" message and possible kernel oops. Make fsnotify_unmount_inodes() properly wait for outstanding inode references from detached connectors. Note that the accounting of outstanding inode references in the superblock can cause some cacheline contention on the counter. OTOH it happens only during deletion of the last notification mark from an inode (or during unlinking of watched inode) and that is not too bad. I have measured time to create & delete inotify watch 100000 times from 64 processes in parallel (each process having its own inotify group and its own file on a shared superblock) on a 64 CPU machine. Average and standard deviation of 15 runs look like: Avg Stddev Vanilla 9.817400 0.276165 Fixed 9.710467 0.228294 So there's no statistically significant difference.
