From 8236b0ae31c837d2b3a2565c5f8d77f637e824cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 07:07:55 +0900 Subject: bdi: wake up concurrent wb_shutdown() callers. syzbot is reporting hung tasks at wait_on_bit(WB_shutting_down) in wb_shutdown() [1]. This seems to be because commit 5318ce7d46866e1d ("bdi: Shutdown writeback on all cgwbs in cgwb_bdi_destroy()") forgot to call wake_up_bit(WB_shutting_down) after clear_bit(WB_shutting_down). Introduce a helper function clear_and_wake_up_bit() and use it, in order to avoid similar errors in future.
