Subject[PATCH 4.4 292/342] writeback: keep superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit 5ff8eaac1636bf6deae86491f4818c4c69d1a9ac upstream.

If cgroup writeback is in use, an inode is associated with a cgroup
for writeback. If the inode's main dirtier changes to another cgroup,
the association gets updated asynchronously. Nothing was pinning the
superblock while such switches are in progress and superblock could go
away while async switching is pending or in progress leading to
crashes like the following.

Fix it by bumping s_active while cgroup association switching is in
flight.
