Subject: [PATCH] fs:super:get_anon_bdev: fix race condition could cause dev exceed its upper limitation
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 18:54:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150623105445.GA6746@udknight.ahead-top.com> (raw)
Execution of get_anon_bdev concurrently and preemptive kernel all
could bring race condition, it isn't enough to check dev against
its upper limitation with equality operator only.
