From 6db6dd7d3fd8f7c765dabc376493d6791ab28bd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2013 12:47:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Ensure that we free the rpc_task after read and write cleanups are done This patch ensures that we free the rpc_task after the cleanup callbacks are done in order to avoid a deadlock problem that can be triggered if the callback needs to wait for another workqueue item to complete.
