From b5230b56ee6caeb27cedb7753c0c319646383bb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:19:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] blktrace: fix a race when creating blk_tree_root in debugfs t1 t2 ------ ------ do_blk_trace_setup() do_blk_trace_setup() if (!blk_tree_root) { if (!blk_tree_root) blk_tree_root = create_dir() blk_tree_root = create_dir(); (now blk_tree_root == NULL) ... dir = create_dir(name, blk_tree_root); Due to this race, t1 will create 'dir' in /debugfs but not /debugfs/block.
