Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/7] IO CPU affinity testing series
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:41:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47D807BA.7020102@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1205322940-20127-1-git-send-email-jens.axboe@oracle.com>
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.
