Subject: [PATCH 13/13] SCSI: fix race in device_create
Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 15:35:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1211322900-12705-13-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080520223237.GA12383@suse.de>

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata().  It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
drivers that need it.
