>From 68857d7f2087edbbc5ee1d828f151ac46406f3be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:08:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs: Fix aio rcu ioctx lookup aio-dio-invalidate-failure GPFs in aio_put_req from io_submit. lookup_ioctx doesn't implement the rcu lookup pattern properly. rcu_read_lock does not prevent refcount going to zero, so we might take a refcount on a zero count ioctx. Fix the bug by atomically testing for zero refcount before incrementing.
