Subject: [2.6.22 PATCH 05/26] dm crypt: fix avoid cloned bio ref after free
Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 20:44:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070508194442.GL24114@agk.fab.redhat.com> (raw)

From: olaf.kirch@oracle.com

Do not access the bio after generic_make_request

We should never access a bio after generic_make_request - there's
no guarantee it still exists.
