There's a race between close_ctree() and cleaner_kthread(). close_ctree() sets btrfs_fs_closing(), and the cleaner stops when it sees it set, but this is racy; the cleaner might have already checked the bit and could be cleaning stuff. In particular, if it deletes unused block groups, it will create delayed iputs for the free space cache inodes. As of "btrfs: don't run delayed_iputs in commit", we're no longer running delayed iputs after a commit. Therefore, if the cleaner creates more delayed iputs after delayed iputs are run in btrfs_commit_super(), we will leak inodes on unmount and get a busy inode crash from the VFS. Fix it by parking the cleaner before we actually close anything. Then, any remaining delayed iputs will always be handled in btrfs_commit_super(). This also ensures that the commit in close_ctree() is really the last commit, so we can get rid of the commit in cleaner_kthread(). The fstest/generic/475 followed by 476 can trigger a crash that manifests as a slab corruption caused by accessing the freed kthread structure by a wake up function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
