[PATCH 03/17] fuse: fix request_end()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This function used the request object after decrementing it's
reference count and releasing the lock.  This could in theory lead to
all sorts of problems.

Fix and simplify at the same time.
