[PATCH 1/4] block: Fix race on request_queue.end_io invocations

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

 



Some request_queue.end_io implementations can be called safely
without the queue lock held while several other implementations
assume that the queue lock is held. So let's play it safe and
make sure that the queue lock is held around end_io invocations.
Found this through source code review.
