The patch titled memstick: avert possible race condition between idr_pre_get and idr_get_new has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memstick-avert-possible-race-condition-between-idr_pre_get-and-idr_get_new.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: memstick: avert possible race condition between idr_pre_get and idr_get_new From: Alex Dubov <oakad@xxxxxxxxx> Implement the usual pattern around idr_pre_get() and idr_get_new() to handlethe situation where another thread concurrently steals this thread's idr_pre_get() preallocation.
