3.2.64-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2da78092dda13f1efd26edbbf99a567776913750 upstream. Releases the dev_t minor when all references are closed to prevent another device from acquiring the same major/minor. Since the partition's release may be invoked from call_rcu's soft-irq context, the ext_dev_idr's mutex had to be replaced with a spinlock so as not so sleep.
