xfs: shutdown after buf release in iflush cluster abort path
If xfs_iflush_cluster() fails due to corruption, the error path
issues a shutdown and simulates an I/O completion to release the
buffer. This code has a couple small problems. First, the shutdown
sequence can issue a synchronous log force, which is unsafe to do
with buffer locks held. Second, the simulated I/O completion does not
guarantee the buffer is async and thus is unlocked and released.
For example, if the last operation on the buffer was a read off disk
prior to the corruption event, XBF_ASYNC is not set and the buffer
is left locked and held upon return. This results in a memory leak
as shown by the following message on module unload:
BUG xfs_buf (...): Objects remaining in xfs_buf on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
Fix both of these problems by setting XBF_ASYNC on the buffer prior
to the simulated I/O error and performing the shutdown immediately
after ioend processing when the buffer has been released.
