[PATCH 5.8 090/186] block: fix locking in bdev_del_partition

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 08 2020 - 15:24:19 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 08fc1ab6d748ab1a690fd483f41e2938984ce353 ]

We need to hold the whole device bd_mutex to protect against
other thread concurrently deleting out partition before we get
to it, and thus causing a use after free.

Fixes: cddae808aeb7 ("block: pass a hd_struct to delete_partition")
