xfs: clear ail delwri queued bufs on unmount of shutdown fs
In the typical unmount case, the AIL is forced out by the unmount sequence before the xfsaild task is stopped. Since AIL items are removed on writeback completion, this means that the AIL ->ail_buf_list delwri queue has been drained. This is not always true in the shutdown case, however. It's possible for buffers to sit on a delwri queue for a period of time across submission attempts if said items are locked or have been relogged and pinned since first added to the queue. If the attempt to log such an item results in a log I/O error, the error processing can shutdown the fs, remove the item from the AIL, stale the buffer (dropping the LRU reference) and clear its delwri queue state. The latter bit means the buffer will be released from a delwri queue on the next submission attempt, but this might never occur if the filesystem has shutdown and the AIL is empty. This means that such buffers are held indefinitely by the AIL delwri queue across destruction of the AIL. Aside from being a memory leak, these buffers can also hold references to in-core perag structures. The latter problem manifests as a generic/475 failure, reproducing the following asserts at unmount time: XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 151 XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 132 To prevent this problem, clear the AIL delwri queue as a final step before xfsaild() exit. The !empty state should never occur in the normal case, so add an assert to catch unexpected problems going forward.
