Subject: [PATCH 2/3] blktrace: fix a race when creating blk_tree_root in debugfs
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:19:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49C9F725.9080409@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49C9F700.9070609@cn.fujitsu.com>
t1 t2
------ ------
do_blk_trace_setup() do_blk_trace_setup()
if (!blk_tree_root) {
if (!blk_tree_root)
blk_tree_root = create_dir()
blk_tree_root = create_dir();
(now blk_tree_root == NULL)
...
dir = create_dir(name, blk_tree_root);
Due to this race, t1 will create 'dir' in /debugfs but not /debugfs/block.
