Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 15:34:52 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>, Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>, Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@...el.com>, Hal Rosenstock <hal.rosenstock@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 05/13] IB: fix race in device_create There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all sorts of bad things to happen. This patch fixes the problem by using the new function, device_create_drvdata().
