[SCSI] Re-do "final klist fixes"

2005-09-08T01:44:33+00:00

With the previous commit that introduces the klist enhancements, we can now re-do 2b7d6a8cb9718fc1d9e826201b64909c44a915f4 again.

[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal

2005-09-08T01:26:54+00:00

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers to the prior element to get the next. The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until the list relinquishes the reference to it. (akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge) Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[SCSI] Revert "final klist fixes"

Revert commit 2b7d6a8cb9718fc1d9e826201b64909c44a915f4. The "fix" was known to not even compile. Duh. That's not a fix. That's just stupid. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_head

2005-09-05T23:03:13+00:00

at the moment, the list_head semantics are list_add(node, head) whereas current klist semantics are klist_add(head, node) This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it should follow the list_head semantics. I also added missing include guards to klist.h Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
