[patch 5/5] swap_readpage(): avoid blk_wake_io_task() if !synchronous

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

 



From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: swap_readpage(): avoid blk_wake_io_task() if !synchronous

swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F,
this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return.  This
can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
after the caller does set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel
can crash in do_task_dead().
