From a288cafeceb6e18ba4fd10ec8d3270593472cca6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 09:05:36 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix dev_t minor allocation lifetime commit 2da78092dda13f1efd26edbbf99a567776913750 upstream. Releases the dev_t minor when all references are closed to prevent another device from acquiring the same major/minor. Since the partition's release may be invoked from call_rcu's soft-irq context, the ext_dev_idr's mutex had to be replaced with a spinlock so as not so sleep.
