Revision 94007751bb02797ba87bac7aacee2731ac2039a3 authored by NeilBrown on 10 September 2011, 07:20:21 UTC, committed by NeilBrown on 10 September 2011, 07:20:21 UTC
On the last close of an 'md' device which as been stopped, the device is destroyed and in particular the request_queue is freed. The free is done in a separate thread so it might happen a short time later. __blkdev_put calls bdev_inode_switch_bdi *after* ->release has been called. Since commit f758eeabeb96f878c860e8f110f94ec8820822a9 bdev_inode_switch_bdi will dereference the 'old' bdi, which lives inside a request_queue, to get a spin lock. This causes the last close on an md device to sometime take a spin_lock which lives in freed memory - which results in an oops. So move the called to bdev_inode_switch_bdi before the call to ->release.
