Ext4: wait for log to commit when putting super V2.
PATCH 1/1 Ext4: wait for log to commit when putting super V2.
Update:
-Instead of adding new logic to wait for the journal to commit, just move the cleanup code below the journal destruction which does the same thing. Thanks to Eric Sandeen for the suggestion.
There is a problem where a transaction will be committing while we're unmounting the filesystem and you will get a panic because EXT4_SB(sb)->s_group_info has been kfree'ed in ext4_put_super. The commit code does the callback for the mballoc stuff to release free'ed blocks in the transaction and panic's trying to access s_group_info. The fix is to wait for the transaction to finish committing before we start cleaning up the mballoc stuff. This patch hasn't been tested yet, but its an obvious fix.

Added to the ext4 patch queue, thanks.
