Subject: [41/91] dm: prevent access to md being deleted

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@...jp.nec.com>

commit abdc568b0540bec6d3e0afebac496adef1189b77 upstream.

This patch prevents access to mapped_device which is being deleted.

Currently, even after a mapped_device has been removed from the hash,
it could be accessed through idr_find() using minor number.
That could cause a race and NULL pointer reference below:
  CPU0                          CPU1

                                             md = dm_find_md(dev)
                                                    spin_lock(_minor_lock)
                                                    md = idr_find(MINOR(dev))
                                                    spin_unlock(_minor_lock)
    dm_put(md)
      free_dev(md)
                                             dm_get(md)
                                         up_read(_hash_lock)
                                  __dev_status(md, param)
                                  dm_put(md)

This patch fixes such problems.
