Re: busy buffer problem on HEAD

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Booting, logging in as root and running "shutdown -r now" works.
:Booting, logging in as a regular user and running "shutdown -r now" hits
:the "busy buffer problem". This is probably because my regular users home
:directories are on nfs. This didn't happen before the "BIO" commit so
:taht's my suspect.

    Hmm.  There was some bad code pre-patch that I removed that was probably
    handling that case.  The real problem is that the nfsd processes are 
    getting wiped out by the shutdown before all the buffers are flushed.
    It's kind of a chicken and egg problem.

    This patch might not be quite sufficient, but I'd like you to try it
    anyhow.  It only counts buffers that are undergoing I/O as 'busy' (which
    is what the original code did), but unlike the original code I don't
    try to remove the mount point so its possible that the shutdown sequence
    will block a little further on when it tries to unmount the filesystems.
