The problem is that socket events queue work, which can take a while, and race with, say, osd_client getting an osdmap and dropping it's struct ceph_osd. The ->get and ->put ops just twiddle the containing struct's refcount, in that case, so the con_work will find the (now closed) ceph_connection and do nothing...
I think you're saying that the connection (or its socket) needs to be protected from its containing structure going away. So the connection needs to hold a reference to its container. If that's the case then the disposal of the ceph_osd needs to clean up the connection fully before it goes away. Anyway, I think I see why there might be a need for the ref counts and they obviously won't go away if they're needed... -Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
