Subject[PATCH] Do not free io context when taking recursive faults in do_exit
DateWed, 19 Nov 2008 12:15:35 +0530
When taking recursive faults in do_exit, if the io_context is not null, 
exit_io_context() is being called. But it might decrement the refcount 
more than once. It is better to leave this task alone.
