[PATCH v3 2/2] cuse: do not register multiple devices with identical names

From: David Herrmann
Date: Sat Nov 17 2012 - 06:40:20 EST


Sysfs doesn't allow two devices with the same name, but we register a
sysfs entry for each cuse device without checking for name collisions.
This extends the registration to first check whether the name was already
registered.

To avoid race-conditions between the name-check and linking the device, we
need to protect the whole registration with a mutex.

Hi

Changes in v2 include:
- move mutex-conversion into a separate patch
- check every list in the cuse_conntbl array, not only the current one
