While cancel_work_sync() waits for wq tasks to complete, it does not guarantee work tasks have started. This means that the _stop() helper can queue and instantly cancel a wq task without having completed the associated work. This can be observed by tracepoint inspection of a simple "rm -f ; fsfreeze -f " test: xfs_destroy_inode: ... ino 0x83 ... xfs_inode_set_need_inactive: ... ino 0x83 ... xfs_inodegc_stop: ... ... xfs_inodegc_start: ... xfs_inodegc_worker: ... xfs_inode_inactivating: ... ino 0x83 ... The first few lines show that the inode is removed and need inactive state set, but the inactivation work has not completed before the inodegc mechanism stops. The inactivation doesn't actually occur until the fs is unfrozen and the gc mechanism starts back up. Note that this test requires fsfreeze to reproduce because xfs_freeze indirectly invokes xfs_fs_statfs(), which calls xfs_inodegc_flush(). When this occurs, the workqueue try_to_grab_pending() logic first tries to steal the pending bit, which does not succeed because the bit has been set by queue_work_on(). Subsequently, it checks for association of a pool workqueue from the work item under the pool lock. This association is set at the point a work item is queued and cleared when dequeued for processing. If the association exists, the work item is removed from the queue and cancel_work_sync() returns true. If the pwq association is cleared, the remove attempt assumes the task is busy and retries (eventually returning false to the caller after waiting for the work task to complete). To avoid this race, we can flush each work item explicitly before cancel. However, since the _queue_all() already schedules each underlying work item, the workqueue level helpers are sufficient to achieve the same ordering effect. E.g., the inodegc enabled flag prevents scheduling any further work in the _stop() case. Use the drain_workqueue() helper in this particular case to make the intent a bit more self explanatory.
