Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: add proper state guards to __elv_next_request
Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:38:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303486731.2590.23.camel@mulgrave.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1303486638.2590.21.camel@mulgrave.site>
blk_cleanup_queue() calls elevator_exit() and after this, we can't
touch the elevator without oopsing. __elv_next_request() must check
for this state because in the refcounted queue model, we can still
call it after blk_cleanup_queue() has been called.
This was reported as causing an oops attributable to scsi.
