Tetsuo Handa 6b5a99167a bdi: wake up concurrent wb_shutdown() callers.
commit 8236b0ae31c837d2b3a2565c5f8d77f637e824cc upstream.

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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
