Subject: Btrfs: Fix async thread shutdown race
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc4~7^2~44
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e74057c4686dc12ea767b4bdc50a63876056e1c;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

Btrfs: Fix async thread shutdown race

It was possible for an async worker thread to be selected to
receive a new work item, but exit before the work item was
actually placed into that thread's work list.

This commit fixes the race by incrementing the num_pending
counter earlier, and making sure to check the number of pending
work items before a thread exits.
