    ubi: block: Fix locking for idr_alloc/idr_remove · 7f29ae9f
    Bradley Bolen authored
    This fixes a race with idr_alloc where gd->first_minor can be set to the
    same value for two simultaneous calls to ubiblock_create.  Each instance
    calls device_add_disk with the same first_minor.  device_add_disk calls
    bdi_register_owner which generates several warnings.

    However, device_add_disk does not error out when bdi_register_owner
    returns an error.  Control continues until reaching blk_register_queue.
    It then BUGs.

    Locking idr_alloc/idr_remove removes the race and keeps gd->first_minor
    unique.
