[PATCH 7/10] dm: fix mapped device ref counting

From: Alasdair G Kergon
Date: Thu May 25 2006 - 15:17:11 EST


From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx>

To avoid races, _minor_lock must be held while changing mapped device
reference counts.

There are a few paths where a mapped_device pointer is returned before
a reference is taken. This patch fixes them.
