I believe this introduces a critical bug. cl->list is used to link together the llists for both things waiting, and for things that are being woken. If a closure that is woken decides to wait again, it will corrupt the llist that __closure_wake_up is using. The previous iteration structure gets the next element of the list before waking and is therefore safe.Hi Mike, Good catch! I see llist_del_all() but forget cl->list can be modified in closure_wait(). Yes there is potential chance to mislead llist_for_each_entry() to iterate wrong list. llist_for_each_entry_safe() should be used here. I will send a fix to Jens, hope to catch up 4.14 still.I see. You have a plan to do it. Please fix it.
Oh, I just see this email, when I replied your last one. Sure, let me fix my fault. -- Coly Li
