4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bradley Bolen <bradleybolen@xxxxxxxxx> commit 7f29ae9f977bcdc3654e68bc36d170223c52fd48 upstream. This fixes a race with idr_alloc where gd->first_minor can be set to the same value for two simultaneous calls to ubiblock_create. Each instance calls device_add_disk with the same first_minor. device_add_disk calls bdi_register_owner which generates several warnings. WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 179 at kernel-source/fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x68/0x88 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/252:2' WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 179 at kernel-source/lib/kobject.c:240 kobject_add_internal+0x1ec/0x2f8 kobject_add_internal failed for 252:2 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 179 at kernel-source/fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x68/0x88 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/dev/block/252:2' However, device_add_disk does not error out when bdi_register_owner returns an error. Control continues until reaching blk_register_queue. It then BUGs. kernel BUG at kernel-source/fs/sysfs/group.c:113!
