[GIT PULL 03/58] lightnvm: protect target type list with correct locks

From: Matias BjÃrling
Date: Fri Oct 13 2017 - 09:03:40 EST


From: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@xxxxxxxxxx>

nvm_tgt_types list was protected by wrong lock for NVM_INFO ioctl call
and can race with addition or removal of target types. Also
unregistering target type was not protected correctly.

Fixes: 5cd907853 ("lightnvm: remove nested lock conflict with mm")
