From 2d300cb3bda8e64b9553dbdad7124922a055fe53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 10:55:59 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fs: call fsnotify_sb_delete after evict_inodes [ Upstream commit 1edc8eb2e93130e36ac74ac9c80913815a57d413 ] When a filesystem is unmounted, we currently call fsnotify_sb_delete() before evict_inodes(), which means that fsnotify_unmount_inodes() must iterate over all inodes on the superblock looking for any inodes with watches. This is inefficient and can lead to livelocks as it iterates over many unwatched inodes. At this point, SB_ACTIVE is gone and dropping refcount to zero kicks the inode out out immediately, so anything processed by fsnotify_sb_delete / fsnotify_unmount_inodes gets evicted in that loop. After that, the call to evict_inodes will evict everything else with a zero refcount. This should speed things up overall, and avoid livelocks in fsnotify_unmount_inodes().
