From c9eb55db8439057165f106164622c146cdd59468 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:30:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: get rid of pointless wtag variable in async-thread.c Commit ac0c7cf8be00 ("btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are freed by wq callbacks") added a void pointer, wtag, which is passed into trace_btrfs_all_work_done() instead of the freed work item. This is silly for a few reasons: 1. The freed work item still has the same address. 2. work is still in scope after it's freed, so assigning wtag doesn't stop anyone from using it. 3. The tracepoint has always taken a void * argument, so assigning wtag doesn't actually make things any more type-safe. (Note that the original bug in commit bc074524e123 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace events") was that the void * was implicitly casted when it was passed to btrfs_work_owner() in the trace point itself). Instead, let's add some clearer warnings as comments.
