We tried to remove vq poll from wait queue, but do not check whether

This text seems at odds with the code below, instead of checking
poll-whq, you are removing that check...

Maybe the text needs rewording?

Yes, I admit it's bad, thanks for pointing out.

How about:

"Fixing this by switching to use vhost_poll_stop() which zeros poll->wqh after removing poll from waitqueue to make sure it won't be freed twice."

Thanks


Thanks,

Darren.
