Subject: [RFC 4/5] dio: remove duplicate bio wait code
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 16:57:52 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060905235752.29630.25970.sendpatchset@tetsuo.zabbo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060905235732.29630.3950.sendpatchset@tetsuo.zabbo.net>
dio: remove duplicate bio wait code
Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the
async 'should_wait' path. It continues to rely on the fragile link between the
conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and the
conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free.
By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from calling
dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the reference
count drop to 0. We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which now
notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the waiter.
