[030/141] drivers/block/brd.c: fix brd_lookup_page() race

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

 



3.6.11.6 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dfd20b2b174d3a9b258ea3b7a35ead33576587b1 ]

The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the radix
tree.  Otherwise there is a small race which can occur during lookup
where the page can be found with the incorrect index.  This will trigger
the BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().
