Hi
I suggest this patch (but it's only compile-tested, so please run some
testsuite on it).
Mikulas
I self-nack that patch - it doesn't work if there are multiple targets
calling dm_table_set_devices_mutex in the same table. This is not an issue
for multipath, but it will be a problem if other targets use this
functionality.
Here I'm sending a better patch that doesn't need any modification to the
targets at all.

Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps races
with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock but
multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is running. The
end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free memory access.
Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
