[PATCH 3/8] AFS: Fix callback aggregator work item deadlock

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

 



Fix a deadlock in the give-up-callback aggregator dispatcher work item whereby
the aggregator runs on keventd as does timed autounmount, thus leading to the
unmount blocking keventd whilst waiting for keventd to run the aggregator when
the give-up-callback buffer is full.
