Subject: [PATCH V2] lightnvm: protect target type list with correct locks
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2017 21:39:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170916183931.GA2824@hercules.tuxera.com> (raw)

nvm_tgt_types list was protected by wrong lock for NVM_INFO ioctl call
and can race with addition or removal of target types.  Also
unregistering target type was not protected correctly.

Fixes: 5cd907853 ("lightnvm: remove nested lock conflict with mm")
Signed-off-by: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@tuxera.com>
---

V2: also add correct lock while unregistering and fix "Fixes" tag at
end.  Note I found these while investigating another issue and
skimming the core code but worth fixing.
