Subject: [PATCH 1/7] zram: fix race between reset and flushing pending work
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 20:18:56 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389611942-15544-2-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389611942-15544-1-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.org>

Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and
flushing of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing
zram->meta in reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta
if new request is adding during the race window.

This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents
new request so that it closes the race.
