From: "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@...com>
To: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@...cle.com>
Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, npiggin@...e.de, dgc@....com
Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/7] IO CPU affinity testing series
Subject: [PATCH] Fixed race: using potentially invalid pointer
When data->flags & CSD_FLAG_ALLOC is true, the data could be freed by the other processor before we check for CSD_FLAG_WAIT.
Also: removed old comment, doesn't quite fit anymore.
This is applied against Jens' git tree w/ the ia64 additional commit.
