[PATCH 3.16 139/410] ubi: Fix race condition between ubi volume creation and udev

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Jun 07 2018 - 11:03:57 EST


3.16.57-rc1 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.
