Yes, I think you are right.

My previous thought was that test_and_set_bit() is only called if
'ready' is true, but 'ready' will only be true on the first record,
and complete() is only called when processing the last record.

I simply thought before that the first record would not be the last
record, so I thought before that the test_and_set_bit() would not be
called when complete() was called.

But your reply inspired me and I thought about it carefully and the
situation with only one record is possible.

I will make version 2 patch to solve this problem.

Thanks.
