From a24fa22ce22ae302b3bf8f7008896d52d5d57b8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 17:28:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xen/blkback: don't use xen_blkif_get() in xen-blkback kthread MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There is no need to use xen_blkif_get()/xen_blkif_put() in the kthread of xen-blkback. Thread stopping is synchronous and using the blkif reference counting in the kthread will avoid to ever let the reference count drop to zero at the end of an I/O running concurrent to disconnecting and multiple rings. Setting ring->xenblkd to NULL after stopping the kthread isn't needed as the kthread does this already.
