[PATCH 4.15 092/202] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi volume creation and udev

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 15 2018 - 10:44:41 EST


4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Clay McClure <clay@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a51a0c8d213594bc094cb8e54aad0cb6d7f7b9a6 upstream.

Similar to commit 714fb87e8bc0 ("ubi: Fix race condition between ubi
device creation and udev"), we should make the volume active before
registering it.
