This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled aoe: do not call bdi_init after blk_alloc_queue to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From d3e37177b14249646df6e9ca06210d95e89c5a25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ed Cashin <ecashin@coraid.com> Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:43:35 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] aoe: do not call bdi_init after blk_alloc_queue [ this is part of commit 0a41409c518083133e79015092585d68915865be upstream, kernels <= 3.6 requires this different patch ] blk_alloc_queue has already done a bdi_init, so do not bdi_init again in aoeblk_gdalloc. The extra call causes list corruption in the per-CPU backing dev info stats lists. Affected users see console WARNINGs about list_del corruption on percpu_counter_destroy when doing "rmmod aoe" or "aoeflush -a" when AoE targets have been detected and initialized by the system. The patch below applies to v3.6.11, with its v47 aoe driver. It is expected to apply to all currently maintained stable kernels except 3.7.y. A related but different fix has been posted for 3.7.y.
