Subject: [PATCH 3.16 139/410] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi volume
 creation and udev

3.16.57-rc1 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.
