This reverts commit 1cd96c242a829d52f7a5ae98f554ca9775429685. commit 1cd96c242a829d52f7a5ae98f554ca9775429685 Author: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 24 12:35:07 2009 +0100 block: WARN in __blk_put_request() for potential bio leak Put a WARN_ON in __blk_put_request if it is about to leak bio(s). This is a serious bug that can happen in error handling code paths. For this to work I have fixed a couple of places in block/ where request->bio != NULL ownership was not honored. And a small cleanup at sg_io() while at it. With 2.6.30-rc, BSG SMP requests get the following warnings: WARNING: at block/blk-core.c:1068 __blk_put_request+0x52/0xc0() However, this is false. There is no bio leak wrt BSG SMP requests. Probably the better fix is calling blk_end_request_all() in the BSG SMP path. blk_end_request_all() is not very useful for the BSG SMP path (we call it to just unlink rq->bio) however calling blk_end_request_all() in all bio users is consistent. blk_end_request_all() is not available in 2.6.30-rc so seems that the simplest fix is removing WARN_ON for now.
