Subject: [S390] cio: css_register_subchannel race.
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:23:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061215162301.GI4920@skybase> (raw)

From: Stefan Bader <shbader@de.ibm.com>

[S390] cio: css_register_subchannel race.

Asynchronous probe can release memory of a subchannel before
css_get_ssd_info is called. To fix this call css_get_ssd_info
before registering with driver core.
