Subject: [PATCH] fscache: extended "dying" check before emitting EV_INVALIDATE
Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:48:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130403144857.22351.67546.stgit@rabbit.intern.cm-ag> (raw)
Before emitting an FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_INVALIDATE event, the function
__fscache_invalidate() checks whether the fscache_object is currently
"dying". This checks only the current state, not the queued events
that will very soon lead to the object's death.
The problem is that fscache_object_state_machine() will
BUG("Unsupported event") when there is object->events includes
EV_INVALIDATE during "terminal_transit". Even if we would ignore that
check, we could run into "Unexpected event in dead state" later
because object->work may still be queued.
The solution is to check for EV_RETIRE and EV_RELEASE; if one of those
two terminal events is already queued, don't bother to queue
EV_INVALIDATE.
