Subject: [PATCH block/for-3.3/core] block: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in exit_io_context()
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:35:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111227173559.GD17712@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1324892810.31721.0.camel@lappy>
6e736be7 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix
race on alloction" added WARN_ON_ONCE() in exit_io_context() which
triggers if !PF_EXITING. All tasks hitting exit_io_context() from
task exit should have PF_EXITING set but task struct tearing down
after fork failure calls into the function without PF_EXITING,
triggering the condition.

Heh, sorry about that. Forgot about fork failure path. Just removing
the WARN_ON_ONCE() should be enough. Thanks for reporting the problem.
