Subject: [PATCH] brd: Fix brd_lookup_page() race
Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 09:48:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <518D24C4.703@llnl.gov> (raw)

The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the
radix tree.  Otherwise there is a small race which can occur
during lookup where the page can be found with the incorrect
index.  This will trigger the BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().
