[PATCH] libceph: fix misleading ceph_osdc_cancel_request() comment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



cancel_request() never guaranteed that after its return the OSD
client would be completely done with the OSD request.  The callback
(if specified) can still be invoked and a ref can still be held.
