From: Artem Savkov
Date: Sun Sep 08 2013 - 10:11:18 EST


Patch "aio: fix rcu sparse warnings introduced by ioctx table lookup patch"
(77d30b14d24e557f89c41980011d72428514d729 in linux-next.git) introduced a
couple of new rcu_dereference calls which are not protected by rcu_read_lock
and result in following warnings during syscall fuzzing(trinity):
