Subject: [PATCH] IB core: Fix locking on device numbers allocation
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:13:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100323191317.GA14496@mtldesk030.lab.mtl.com> (raw)

When the driver needs to dynamically allocate char device numbers in systems
with more than IB_UVERBS_MAX_DEVICES, it releases map lock, allocates a new
range and a new device number from that range, and only then re-acquires the
lock. This must be protected for the same reasoning that the map_lock spinlock
is used. Without protecting we could also end up calling alloc_chrdev_region()
a nubmer of times and cause a leakage. Fix this by replacing map_lock with a
mutex and apply on the all the allocation code.
