3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 17181fb7a0c3a279196c0eeb2caba65a1519614b upstream. As long as struct thin_c is in the list, anyone can grab a reference of it. Consequently, we must wait for the reference count to drop to zero *after* we remove the structure from the list, not before.
