Sigh... Supposed fix to problems with stale inodes was completely broken.
What we need is "if we are doing last iput() on fs that is getting shut, sync it and don't leave it in cache". And yes, we have a similar path in iput(). Similar, but not quite the same.
Fix is * new fs flag: "MS_ACTIVE". * set after normal ->read_super(). * reset after we are done with fsync_super() in kill_super(). * iput() checking that and if it's set - doing write_inode_now() and kicking it out of hash.
I'll send patch in ~10 minutes.
