[PATCH 3/5] ib_srp: hold a mutex when adding a new target port

From: dongsu . park
Date: Fri Aug 31 2012 - 16:01:21 EST


From: Dongsu Park <dongsu.park@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Unter circumstances, srp_rport_add() can make conflicts with
srp_rport_delete(), dumping the call trace written below.
That does not always occur. But its possible reason is adding
sysfs entries for the SRP target too fast, even before the
deletion hasn't finished yet.

The possible solution is therefore holding a scan_mutex when
calling device_add().

Example call trace:
