xfsaild is racy with respect to transaction abort and shutdown in that the task can idle or exit with an empty AIL but buffers still on the delwri queue. This was partly addressed by cancelling the delwri queue before the task exits to prevent memory leaks, but it's also possible for xfsaild to empty and idle with buffers on the delwri queue. For example, a transaction that pins a buffer that also happens to sit on the AIL delwri queue will explicitly remove the associated log item from the AIL if the transaction aborts. The side effect of this is an unmount hang in xfs_wait_buftarg() as the associated buffers remain held by the delwri queue indefinitely. This is reproduced on repeated runs of generic/531 with an fs format (-mrmapbt=1 -bsize=1k) that happens to also reproduce transaction aborts. Update xfsaild to not idle until both the AIL and associated delwri queue are empty and update the push code to continue delwri queue submission attempts even when the AIL is empty. This allows the AIL to eventually release aborted buffers stranded on the delwri queue when they are unlocked by the associated transaction. This should have no significant effect on normal runtime behavior because the xfsaild currently idles only when the AIL is empty and in practice the AIL is rarely empty with a populated delwri queue. The items must be AIL resident to land in the queue in the first place and generally aren't removed until writeback completes. Note that the pre-existing delwri queue cancel logic in the exit path is retained because task stop is external, could technically come at any point, and xfsaild is still responsible to release its buffer references before it exits.

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.
