[PATCH] ata: libata-pmp: Fix a possible data race in sata_pmp_handle_link_fail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The write operation to "link->flags" is protected by
the lock on line 898, but the read operation to
this data on line 892 is not protected by the lock.
Thus, there may exist a data race for "link->flags".

To fix this data race, the read operation to "link->flags" 
should be also protected by the lock.
