I didn't repo it, but I did confirm the C repo is calling rdma_addr_cancel, so I think this is very likely to be the bug.. Parav/Mark: Does this make sense? I'll hang on to this till Monday so you guys can check it. diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c index b0a52c99620834..826b1edd9b58b6 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c @@ -586,6 +586,15 @@ static void process_one_req(struct work_struct *_work) list_del(&req->list); mutex_unlock(&lock); + /* + * Although the work will normally have been canceled by the + * workqueue, it can still be requeued as long as it is on the + * req_list, so it could have been requeued before we grabbed &lock. + * We need to cancel it after it is removed from req_list to really be + * sure it is safe to free. + */ + cancel_delayed_work(&req->work); + req->callback(req->status, (struct sockaddr *)&req->src_addr, req->addr, req->context); put_client(req->client); -- 2.16.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
