Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] dma-buf: fix racing conflict of dma_heap_add()

Hi Dawei,

from the technical description, coding style etc.. it looks clean to me, 
but I'm the completely wrong person to ask for a background check.

I have a high level understanding of how dma-heaps work, but not a 
single line of this code is from me.

Feel free to add my Acked-by, but Laura, John and others do you have any 
opinion?

Regards,
Christian.
