Subject: [PATCH] loop: queue_lock NULL pointer derefence in blk_throtl_exit (v3)
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:55:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110121125526.GA4250@swordfish> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110120154327.GD18875@redhat.com>

Performing
$ sudo mount -o loop -o umask=0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

$ sudo modprobe -r loop

results in oops:

because of an attempt to acquire NULL queue_lock.   
Added the same lines as in blk_queue_make_request -       
`fall back to embedded per-queue lock' - when call blk_release_queue on
allocated but not initialized queue.

v2: According to comment by Vivek Goyal, queue_lock NULL check and fix moved
out from loop driver code to blk_release_queue, which is more general
approach.
