Hi Catalin,
How about the following instead? This patch gets rid of those
nfs_open_context references altogether...
Cheers
Trond
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>
Subject: NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.
We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().
