[PATCH 01/21] aio: fix kioctx not being freed after cancellation at exit time

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Mon May 13 2013 - 21:25:14 EST


From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx>

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 modifying the wait_event() condition
in free_ioctx() appropriately.

This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code
posted yesterday.
