    cfq-iosched: fix race between exiting queue and exiting task · 62c1fe9d

    Original patch from Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>
    
    When a queue exits the queue lock is taken and cfq_exit_queue() would free all
    the cic's associated with the queue.
    
    But when a task exits, cfq_exit_io_context() gets cic one by one and then
    locks the associated queue to call __cfq_exit_single_io_context. It looks like
    between getting a cic from the ioc and locking the queue, the queue might have
    exited on another cpu.
    
    Fix this by rechecking the cfq_io_context queue key inside the queue lock
    again, and not calling into __cfq_exit_single_io_context() if somebody
    beat us to it.
