Re: [PATCH Linux 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 02/03] cfq: cfq_io_context leak fix

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

02_cfq_ioc_leak_fix.patch

	When a process has more than one cic's associated with it,
	only the first one was kmem_cache_free'd in the original code.
	This patch frees all cic's in cfq_free_io_context().

	While at it, remove unnecessary refcounting from cic's to ioc.
	This reference is created when each cic is created and removed
	altogether when the ioc is exited, and, thus, serves no
	purpose.
