The fix is the right thing to do, but your explanation is wrong. If msg is null at that point, it's because con->ops->alloc_msg() failed, and has nothing to do with the mutex state. So yes, the returned pointer should be checked for null before dropping a reference, but that's all there is to it... Perhaps it's the zillion messages that are leading to the message allocation failure somehow. > Fix by only calling put if msg is non-NULL. > > Fixes http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/3142 Is that the right bug number? > > Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxx> Please fix the explanation, but otherwise this looks good.
