[PATCH 2/2] aio: fix kioctx not being freed after cancellation at exit time

From: Benjamin LaHaise
Date: Wed Feb 13 2013 - 12:46:40 EST


The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in the
kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at exit_aio()
time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its completion events
discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to wake up the process
stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by adding a wake_up() in batch_complete_aio()
and modifying the wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately.
