From 07416d29bcf608257f1e5280642dcbe0021518a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 09:17:12 +0200 Subject: cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(), however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and dereferencing the first object on the list. So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(), and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.
