In that case I didn't understand your description of the bug even the tiniest little bit.
That request is sitting in the kernel stack of some process which is sleeping in wait_for_completion(). Hence it is safe memory until someone runs complete() against the completion struct. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
