From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 00:55:12 +0000 (-0700) Subject: SCSI: fix race in device_create X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc4~94^2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=24b42566c3fcbb5a9011d1446783d0f5844ccd45;p=linux-2.6 SCSI: fix race in device_create There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all sorts of bad things to happen. This patch fixes the problem by using the new function, device_create_drvdata(). It fixes the problem in all of the scsi drivers that need it. Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Doug Gilbert Cc: James E.J.
