    nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown · fded4e09
    Paul Clements 提交于
    Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
    I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
    network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
    
    There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
    and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
    nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
    never completed or freed.
    
    The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
    the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
    cleared.
