When we call xfs_forced_shutdown(), the caller often expects the filesystem to be completely shut down when it returns. However, if we have racing xfs_forced_shutdown() calls, the first caller sets the mount shutdown flag then goes to shutdown the log. The second caller sees the mount shutdown flag and returns immediately - it does not wait for the log to be shut down. Unfortunately, xfs_forced_shutdown() is used in some places that expect it to completely shut down the filesystem before it returns (e.g. xfs_trans_log_inode()). As such, returning before the log has been shut down leaves us in a place where the transaction failed to complete correctly but we still call xfs_trans_commit(). This situation arises because xfs_trans_log_inode() does not return an error and instead calls xfs_force_shutdown() to ensure that the transaction being committed is aborted. Unfortunately, we have a race condition where xfs_trans_commit() needs to check xlog_is_shutdown() because it can't abort log items before the log is shut down, but it needs to use xfs_is_shutdown() because xfs_forced_shutdown() does not block waiting for the log to shut down. To fix this conundrum, first we make all calls to xfs_forced_shutdown() block until the log is also shut down. This means we can then safely use xfs_forced_shutdown() as a mechanism that ensures the currently running transaction will be aborted by xfs_trans_commit() regardless of the shutdown check it uses.
