Subject: Re: [PATCH 04/12] bcache: Don't reinvent the wheel but use existing
llist API

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.
Do you mean we have to use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead of non-safe version?
Is it ok if we use it instead?
