[PATCH] Staging: comedi: fix mmap_count

From: Federico Vaga
Date: Sat Oct 29 2011 - 03:47:17 EST


In comedi_fops, mmap_count is decremented at comedi_vm_ops->close but
it is not incremented at comedi_vm_ops->open. This may result in a negative
counter. The patch introduces the open method to keep the counter
consistent.

The bug was triggerd by this sample code:

mmap(0, ...., comedi_fd);
fork();
exit(0);
