Subject: [ 018/187] bql: Avoid possible inconsistent calculation.

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Hiroaki SHIMODA <shimoda.hiroaki@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 914bec1011a25f65cdc94988a6f974bfb9a3c10d ]

dql->num_queued could change while processing dql_completed().
To provide consistent calculation, added an on stack variable.
