Madhuparna Bhowmik f7b07311ff rapidio: avoid data race between file operation callbacks and mport_cdev_add().
[ Upstream commit e1c3cdb26ab881b77486dc50370356a349077c74 ]

Fields of md(mport_dev) are set after cdev_device_add().  However, the
file operation callbacks can be called after cdev_device_add() and
therefore accesses to fields of md in the callbacks can race with the rest
of the mport_cdev_add() function.

One such example is INIT_LIST_HEAD(&md->portwrites) in mport_cdev_add(),
the list is initialised after cdev_device_add().  This can race with
list_add_tail(&pw_filter->md_node,&md->portwrites) in
rio_mport_add_pw_filter() which is called by unlocked_ioctl.

To avoid such data races use cdev_device_add() after initializing md.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
