[22/99] dm: dec_pending needs locking to save error value

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Nov 06 2009 - 17:41:36 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f88fb981183e71daf40bbd84bc8251bbf7b59e19 upstream.

Multiple instances of dec_pending() can run concurrently so a lock is
needed when it saves the first error code.

I have never experienced actual problem without locking and just found
this during code inspection while implementing the barrier support
patch for request-based dm.

This patch adds the locking.
I've done compile, boot and basic I/O testings.
