[PATCH v5 0/4] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition in sg_open

[Vaughan Cao]

There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v4:
 * [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
 * [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.

Changes from v3:
 * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
 * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Vaughan Cao (4):
  [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open
  [SCSI] sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock
  [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open
  [SCSI] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device
    locking
