Wait iput_async before evict_inodes to prevent race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Wait for iput_async before entering evict_inodes in
generic_shutdown_super. The reason we must finish before
evict_inodes is when lazytime is on, or when zfs_purgedir calls
zfs_zget, iput would bump i_count from 0 to 1. This would race
with the i_count check in evict_inodes.  This means it could
destroy the inode while we are still using it.
