[2.6.20.17 review 28/58] dm io: fix panic on large request

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Wed Aug 22 2007 - 05:02:14 EST


Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools in dm-crypt. There can
be finished but not yet released request.

Call chain causing oops:
run workqueue
dec_pending
bio_endio(...);
<remove device request - remove mempool>
mempool_free(io, cc->io_pool);

This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary
luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation.

When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request
are possible.
