From a6d9946bb925293fda9f5ed6d33d8580b001f006 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2018 23:16:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: eliminate sleep from shutdown ioctl The msleep() when processing EXT4_GOING_FLAGS_NOLOGFLUSH was a hack to avoid some races (that are now fixed), but in fact it introduced its own race.
