From e13889bab3c6b5c839075086d28fe05f71984dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:15:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix devtmpfs race After we's done complete(&req->done), there's nothing to prevent the scope containing *req from being gone and *req overwritten by any kind of junk. So we must read req->next before that...
