Why doesn't kcryptd_queue_io() check the return value from queue_work()?


476 static void kcryptd_queue_io(struct crypt_io *io)
477 {
478 INIT_WORK(&io->work, kcryptd_do_work, io);
479 queue_work(_kcryptd_workqueue, &io->work);
480 }

It's more or less fixed the same way in 2.6.19. The function was
reordered by Milan Broz to accommodate the changed write path (commit
8b004457168995f2ae2a35327f885183a9e74141):

"No functional changes" actually included the correct fix, accidental or
not.

I take it this is fixed a different way in 2.6.19?  Mind clarifying the
difference?

Minor nit:  introduces trailing whitespaces, cleaned it up locally.

Subject: dm crypt: Fix data corruption with dm-crypt over RAID5

Fix corruption issue with dm-crypt on top of software raid5. Cancelled
readahead bio's that report no error, just have BIO_UPTODATE cleared
were reported as successful reads to the higher layers (and leaving
random content in the buffer cache). Already fixed in 2.6.19.
