You are reading lo_bio_count outside the lock. If you race with the prepare_to_wait() and condition check in __wait_event(), then you will sleep forever. md has private helpers for this, seems it would be a good idea to move these into the regular wait includes and use them here too. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
