[PATCH] fs:super:get_anon_bdev: fix race condition could cause dev exceed its upper limitation

From: Wang YanQing
Date: Tue Jun 23 2015 - 07:28:18 EST


Execution of get_anon_bdev concurrently and preemptive kernel all
could bring race condition, it isn't enough to check dev against
its upper limitation with equality operator only.

This patch fix it.
