Hi,
The patch series aims to fix the races between nbd setup and module
removal which may lead to oops. Patch #1 is just replacing
printk(KERN_ERR "nbd: ...") by pr_err("...") which makes it easier
to add error message in patch #3. Patch #2 serializes the concurrently
calling of nbd_genl_connect() and nbd_cleanup(), and patch #3 fixes race
between nbd_alloc_config() and nbd_cleanup().
Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Tao
ChangeLog:
