I suspect this patch is just exposing an existing > issue? Yes, we have actually been following this issue in the another thread. It looks like the object is re-used somehow, but I can't quite understand how just by reading the code. This was what I put into the previous thread: "The log below indicates that you are using your refcounter in a bit weird way in mddev_find(). However, I can't find the place (just by reading the code) where you would increment refcounter from zero (vs. setting it to one). It looks like you either iterate over existing nodes (and increment their counters, which should be >= 1 at the time of increment) or create a new node, but then mddev_init() sets the counter to 1. " If you can help to understand what is going on with the object creation/destruction, would be appreciated! Also Shaohua Li stopped this patch coming from his tree since the issue was caught at that time, so we are not going to merge this until we figure it out.
