Please move this check to exfat_writeback_range(). Returning -EIO
there lets iomap clear dirty state without writing data after
shutdown.

Okay,

return iomap_writepages(&wpc);

This check is not needed for this hang fix. exfat_file_write_iter()
already checks new writes after shutdown.
It also misses existing mmap writes, which use exfat_iomap_ops. We
need to add a shutdown check to exfat_page_mkwrite() also.

Okay,

Thanks.
