Revision da977b2c7eb4d6312f063a7b486f2aad99809710 authored by Eric Van Hensbergen on 26 January 2007, 08:57:06 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 26 January 2007, 21:51:00 UTC 
[PATCH] 9p: fix segfault caused by race condition in meta-data operations
 
Running dbench multithreaded exposed a race condition where fid structures
were removed while in use.  This patch adds semaphores to meta-data operations
to protect the fid structure.  Some cleanup of error-case handling in the
inode operations is also included.
