Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [net/9p] Set the condition just before waking up.
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:12:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300140761-8769-1-git-send-email-jvrao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Given that the sprious wake-ups are common, we need to move the
condition setting right next to the wake_up().  After setting the condition
to req->status = REQ_STATUS_RCVD, sprious wakeups may cause the
virtqueue back on the free list for someone else to use.
This may result in kernel panic while relasing the pinned pages
in p9_release_req_pages().

Also rearranged the while loop in req_done() for better redability.
