[PATCH 3.4 01/10] block: dont assume last put of shared tags is for the host

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 29 2014 - 22:13:16 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

commit d45b3279a5a2252cafcd665bbf2db8c9b31ef783 upstream.

There is no inherent reason why the last put of a tag structure must be
the one for the Scsi_Host, as device model objects can be held for
arbitrary periods. Merge blk_free_tags and __blk_free_tags into a single
funtion that just release a references and get rid of the BUG() when the
host reference wasn't the last.
