[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux/blktap: fix cleanup after unclean application exit
When an application using blktap devices doesn''t close the file handle
(or mmap-s) of /dev/xen/blktapN, we cannot defer the mmput() on the
stored mm until blktap_release(), as that will never be called without
the mm''s reference count dropping to zero.
Written and tested on 2.6.32.11 and made apply to the 2.6.18 tree
without further testing.
