Subject: [PATCH] Fix get_request nastiness
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd782a4a99d2d3e818b9465c427b10f7f027d7da;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] Fix get_request nastiness

get_request is now expected to be holding on to queue_lock, with interrupts
disabled, when it returns NULL; but one path forgot that, causing all kinds
of nastiness under swap load - badness backtraces, strange failures, BUGs.
