-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jeff Mahoney <[email protected]>
One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has
finished initialising it or while it is being freed.
This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor
as allocated but in a state where it can't be used, such as mid-allocation or
mid-free. At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with
the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm
subsystem.
[akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled]
