From 33b04b9308959af7febc1c111c766fa3fd8b1934 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 12:35:11 -0800 Subject: async: make async_synchronize_full() more serializing turns out that there are real problems with allowing async tasks that are scheduled from async tasks to run after the async_synchronize_full() returns. This patch makes the _full more strict and a complete synchronization. Later I might need to add back a lighter form of synchronization for other uses.. but not right now.

After landing I checked and there were indeed 2 problems with it; this patch fixes both: * The order of the list checks was wrong * The locking was not correct.
