commit: 54c807e71d5ac59dee56c685f2b66e27cd54c475 From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:28:01 +0100 Subject: fs: Fix possible use-after-free with AIO Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete() is the last thing we do with the inode.
