[PATCH v4 19/42] virtio_blk: fix race at module removal

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

 



If a device appears while module is being removed,
driver will get a callback after we've given up
on the major number.

In theory this means this major number can get reused
by something else, resulting in a conflict.
