This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc() to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt10. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From af9f14ca34919b7bab7f616a2295eb7112acd3ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2015 12:23:56 +0100 Subject: genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc() commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream. Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created. In the case of a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory. This race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to hit with async probing.
