New Revision: 248562
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/248562

Log:
  When the journaled FFS volume is suspended due to the journal space
  becoming too low, the softdep flush thread processes the workitems,
  which frees the space in journal, and then unsuspends the fs.  The
  softdep_flush() and other workitem processing functions busy the
  filesystem before iterating over the worklist, to prevent the parallel
  unmount from freeing the mount data. The vfs_busy() is called with
  MBF_NOWAIT flag.
  
  Now, if the unmount is already started and the filesystem is suspended
  due to low journal space, the journal is never flushed and filesystem
  is never unsuspended, because vfs_busy(MBF_NOWAIT) call cannot succeed
  for the unmounting fs, and softdep_flush() does not process the
  workitems. Unmount needs to write metadata, where it hangs in the
  "suspfs" state.
  
  Move the vn_start_write() call in the dounmount() before setting the
  MNTK_UNMOUNT flag. This practically ensures that softdep_flush()
  processed the pending journal writes by making dounmount() wait for
  the lift of the suspension.
