Subject: [PATCH] block: fix block_class iteration locking
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:06:08 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <487AECD0.5010602@kernel.org> (raw)
genhd.c used block_class_lock when it wants to iterate over
block_class.devices list. This is incorrect as block_class_lock has
nothing to do with synchronization around block_class.devices list, so
there's a window, albeit small, where the list can change while it's
being iterated over. Fix it by using block_class.sem instead.
