fs/writeback.c: use rcu_barrier() to wait for inflight wb switches going into workqueue when umount
synchronize_rcu() didn't wait for call_rcu() callbacks, so inode wb switch may not go to the workqueue after synchronize_rcu(). Thus previous scheduled switches was not finished even flushing the workqueue, which will cause a NULL pointer dereferenced followed below. VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of vdd. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000278 evict+0xb3/0x180 iput+0x1b0/0x230 inode_switch_wbs_work_fn+0x3c0/0x6a0 worker_thread+0x4e/0x490 ? process_one_work+0x410/0x410 kthread+0xe6/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x39/0x50 Replace the synchronize_rcu() call with a rcu_barrier() to wait for all pending callbacks to finish. And inc isw_nr_in_flight after call_rcu() in inode_switch_wbs() to make more sense.
