[PATCH] bdi: wake up concurrent wb_shutdown() callers.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Mon Apr 23 2018 - 22:59:08 EST


syzbot is reporting hung tasks at wait_on_bit(WB_shutting_down) in
wb_shutdown() [1]. This might 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).
