Subject: [PATCH v2] block: avoid unconditionally freeing previously allocated request_queue
Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 00:52:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100526045219.GB24702@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100525163455.GA10155@redhat.com>

On blk_init_allocated_queue_node failure, only free request_queue if
it is wasn't previously allocated outside the block layer
(e.g. blk_init_queue_node was blk_init_allocated_queue_node caller).

This addresses an interface bug introduced by the following commit:
01effb0 block: allow initialization of previously allocated request_queue

Otherwise the request_queue may be free'd out from underneath a caller
that is managing the request_queue directly (e.g. caller uses
blk_alloc_queue + blk_init_allocated_queue_node).
