Subject: [PATCH] Do not free io context when taking recursive faults in do_exit
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:15:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811191215.35438.knikanth@suse.de> (raw)
When taking recursive faults in do_exit, if the io_context is not null,
exit_io_context() is being called. But it might decrement the refcount
more than once. It is better to leave this task alone.
