Subject: [PATCH] blk_queue_start_tag() shared map race fix
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~640^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=059af497c23492cb1ddcbba11c09dad385960bc0

[PATCH] blk_queue_start_tag() shared map race fix

If we share the tag map between two or more queues, then we cannot
use __set_bit() to set the bit. In fact we need to make sure we
atomically acquire this tag, so loop using test_and_set_bit() to
protect from that.
