If a shut races with xfs_trans_commit() and we have shut down the filesystem but not the log, we will still cancel the transaction. This can result in aborting dirty log items instead of committing and pinning them whilst the log is still running. Hence we can end up with dirty, unlogged metadata that isn't in the AIL in memory that can be flushed to disk via writeback clustering. This was discovered from a g/388 trace where an inode log item was having IO completed on it and it wasn't in the AIL, hence tripping asserts xfs_ail_check(). Inode cluster writeback started long after the filesystem shutdown started, and long after the transaction containing the dirty inode was aborted and the log item marked XFS_LI_ABORTED. The inode was seen as dirty and unpinned, so it was flushed. IO completion tried to remove the inode from the AIL, at which point stuff went bad: XFS (pmem1): Log I/O Error (0x6) detected at xfs_fs_goingdown+0xa3/0xf0 (fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c:500). Shutting down filesystem. XFS: Assertion failed: in_ail, file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans_ail.c, line: 67 XFS (pmem1): Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s) Workqueue: xfs-buf/pmem1 xfs_buf_ioend_work RIP: 0010:assfail+0x27/0x2d Call Trace: <TASK> xfs_ail_check+0xa8/0x180 xfs_ail_delete_one+0x3b/0xf0 xfs_buf_inode_iodone+0x329/0x3f0 xfs_buf_ioend+0x1f8/0x530 xfs_buf_ioend_work+0x15/0x20 process_one_work+0x1ac/0x390 worker_thread+0x56/0x3c0 kthread+0xf6/0x120 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK> xfs_trans_commit() needs to check log state for shutdown, not mount state. It cannot abort dirty log items while the log is still running as dirty items must remained pinned in memory until they are either committed to the journal or the log has shut down and they can be safely tossed away. Hence if the log has not shut down, the xfs_trans_commit() path must allow completed transactions to commit to the CIL and pin the dirty items even if a mount shutdown has started.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
