[PATCH v2 01/30] cxlflash: Fix to avoid invalid port_sel value

[PATCH v2 01/30] cxlflash: Fix to avoid invalid port_sel value

[Matthew R. Ochs]

From: Manoj Kumar <kumarmn@us.ibm.com>

If two concurrent MANAGE_LUN ioctls are issued with the same
WWID parameter, it would result in an incorrect value of port_sel.

This is because port_sel is modified without any locks being
held. If the first caller stalls after the return from
find_and_create_lun(), the value of port_sel will be set
incorrectly to indicate a single port, though in this case
it should have been set to both ports.

To fix, use the global mutex to serialize the lookup of the
WWID and the subsequent modification of port_sel.

Re: [PATCH v2 01/30] cxlflash: Fix to avoid invalid port_sel value

[James Bottomley]

Could you please add a cover letter (a 0/30) and thread your patches
from that?  For large patch series, it really does make following
everything a lot easier for me (and most other people who use a threaded
mail reader).

Thanks,

James

James,

My mistake. I'll send out a properly threaded series shortly.
