    cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling · 07416d29
    Jens Axboe 提交于
    put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(),
    however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and
    dereferencing the first object on the list.
    
    So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(),
    and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for
    call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.
