Subject: [PATCH 4.9 65/86] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi volume creation and udev

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

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

From: Clay McClure <clay@...mons.net>

commit a51a0c8d213594bc094cb8e54aad0cb6d7f7b9a6 upstream.

Similar to commit 714fb87e8bc0 ("ubi: Fix race condition between ubi
device creation and udev"), we should make the volume active before
registering it.
