The patch titled
Subject: block: fix synchronization and limit check in blk_alloc_devt()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
block-fix-synchronization-and-limit-check-in-blk_alloc_devt.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
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.
