From e5313c141b49c1b1af43d1ca81398185d66ad1a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 14:24:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] loop: remove union of use_aio and ref in struct loop_cmd When the request is completed, lo_complete_rq() checks cmd->use_aio. However, if this is in fact an aio request, cmd->use_aio will have already been reused as cmd->ref by lo_rw_aio*. Fix it by not using a union. On x86_64, there's a hole after the union anyways, so this doesn't make struct loop_cmd any bigger.
