commit 471de20303dda0b67981e06d59cc6c4a83fd2a3c upstream.
We flush the data device cache before we issue external log IO. If
the flush fails, we shut down the log immediately and return. However,
the iclog->ic_sema is left in a decremented state so let's add an up().
Prior to this patch, xfs/438 would fail consistently when running with
an external log device:
sync
-> xfs_log_force
-> xlog_write_iclog
-> down(&iclog->ic_sema)
-> blkdev_issue_flush (fail causes us to intiate shutdown)
-> xlog_force_shutdown
-> return
unmount
-> xfs_log_umount
-> xlog_wait_iclog_completion
-> down(&iclog->ic_sema) --------> HANG
There is a second early return / shutdown. Make sure the up() happens
for it as well. Also make sure we cleanup the iclog state,
xlog_state_done_syncing, before dropping the iclog lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
