From c999af2b347a55174f702702e0df814d05ef5491 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:30:07 -0400 Subject: ext4: queue conversion after adding to inode's completed IO list By queuing the io end on the unwritten workqueue before adding it to our inode's list of completed IOs, I think we run the risk of the work getting completed, and the IO freed, before we try to add it to the inode's i_completed_io_list. It should be safe to add it to the inode's list of completed IOs, and -then- queue it for completion, I think. Thanks to Dave Chinner for pointing out the race.
