Bradley Bolen e9a35f8b73 ubi: block: Fix locking for idr_alloc/idr_remove 
commit 7f29ae9f97 upstream.

This fixes a race with idr_alloc where gd->first_minor can be set to the
same value for two simultaneous calls to ubiblock_create.  Each instance
calls device_add_disk with the same first_minor.  device_add_disk calls
bdi_register_owner which generates several warnings.

However, device_add_disk does not error out when bdi_register_owner
returns an error.  Control continues until reaching blk_register_queue.
It then BUGs.

Locking idr_alloc/idr_remove removes the race and keeps gd->first_minor
unique.

README 

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
