The patch titled Subject: block: fix synchronization and limit check in blk_alloc_devt() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is block-fix-synchronization-and-limit-check-in-blk_alloc_devt.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: block: fix synchronization and limit check in blk_alloc_devt() idr allocation in blk_alloc_devt() wasn't synchronized against lookup and removal, and its limit check was off by one - 1 << MINORBITS is the number of minors allowed, not the maximum allowed minor. Add locking and rename MAX_EXT_DEVT to NR_EXT_DEVT and fix limit checking.
