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.
