Look: wakeup finds ->ctx_lock held, so it leaves the sucker on the list, removes it from queue and schedules the call of __aio_poll_complete(). Which gets executed just as we hit aio_poll_cancel(), starting with fput(). You really want to do aio_complete() before fput(). That way you know that req->wait is alive and well at least until iocb gets removed from the list. > + req->events = demangle_poll(iocb->aio_buf) | POLLERR | POLLHUP; EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP, please. The values are equal to POLLERR and POLLHUP on all architectures, but let's avoid misannotations. > + spin_lock_irq(&ctx->ctx_lock); > + list_add_tail(&aiocb->ki_list, &ctx->active_reqs); > + > + spin_lock(&req->head->lock); > + mask = req->file->f_op->poll_mask(req->file, req->events); > + if (!mask) > + __add_wait_queue(req->head, &req->wait); ITYM if (!mask) { __add_wait_queue(req->head, &req->wait); list_add_tail(&aiocb->ki_list, &ctx->active_reqs); } What's the point of exposing it to aio_poll_cancel() when it has never been on waitqueue? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
