From 2c8fc867602e385fd2abe76da0b6bda8ed907547 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2011 14:28:18 -0400 Subject: ide-disk: Fix request requeuing Simon Kirby reported that on his RAID setup with idedisk underneath the box OOMs after a couple of days of runtime. Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK pointed to idedisk_prep_fn() which unconditionally allocates an ide_cmd struct. However, ide_requeue_and_plug() can be called more than once per request, either from the request issue or the IRQ handler path and do blk_peek_request() ends up in idedisk_prep_fn() repeatedly, allocating a struct ide_cmd everytime and "forgetting" the previous pointer. Make sure the code reuses the old allocated chunk.
