[PATCH] block: fix use after free in __blkdev_direct_IO

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

 



We can't dereference the dio structure after submitting the last bio for
this request, as I/O completion might have happened before the code is
run. Introduce a local is_sync variable instead.

Fixes: 542ff7bf ("block: new direct I/O implementation")
