Subject: [PATCH v3.4-rc5] block: iocontext->nr_tasks should be initialized to one
Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 09:17:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120501161729.GV26595@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1335873936.16988.148.camel@lappy>
create_task_io_context() left ioc->nr_tasks at zero; however, a newly
created ioc should have its nr_tasks initialized to one as it begins
attached to the task creating it.
This affects only CLONE_IO which currently doesn't seem to have any
actual user. Sasha triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in ioc_task_link() using
syscall fuzzer. Even when it happens, the failure mode isn't critical
(blk-cgroup may allow attaching a CLONE_IO'd task to a cgroup when it
shouldn't and blkcg limits may behave weirdly).
Fix it by initializing it to one in create_task_io_context().
