If a connection gets aborted while congested, FUSE can leave
nr_wb_congested[] stuck until reboot causing wait_iff_congested() to
wait spuriously which can lead to severe performance degradation.
The leak is caused by gating congestion state clearing with
fc->connected test in request_end(). This was added way back in 2009
by 26c3679101 ("fuse: destroy bdi on umount"). While the commit
description doesn't explain why the test was added, it most likely was
to avoid dereferencing bdi after it got destroyed.
Since then, bdi lifetime rules have changed many times and now we're
always guaranteed to have access to the bdi while the superblock is
alive (fc->sb).
Drop fc->connected conditional to avoid leaking congestion states.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
