This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled drivers/block/brd.c: fix brd_lookup_page() race to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 16b1038e4a5ab8fa141c912b60671c7189cf2d98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 15:55:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/block/brd.c: fix brd_lookup_page() race commit dfd20b2b174d3a9b258ea3b7a35ead33576587b1 upstream. The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the radix tree. Otherwise there is a small race which can occur during lookup where the page can be found with the incorrect index. This will trigger the BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().
