Subject: [PATCH 3.11 006/128] Btrfs: make sure there are not any read requests before stopping workers

3.11.10.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wang Shilong <wangsl.fnst@...fujitsu.com>

commit de348ee022175401e77d7662b7ca6e231a94e3fd upstream.

In close_ctree(), after we have stopped all workers,there maybe still
some read requests(for example readahead) to submit and this *maybe* trigger
an oops that user reported before:

kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/async-thread.c:619!

By hacking codes, i can reproduce this problem with one cpu available.
We fix this potential problem by invalidating all btree inode pages before
stopping all workers.

Thanks to Miao for pointing out this problem.
