      Btrfs: use rcu to protect device->name · 606686ee
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Al pointed out that we can just toss out the old name on a device and add a
      new one arbitrarily, so anybody who uses device->name in printk could
      possibly use free'd memory.  Instead of adding locking around all of this he
      suggested doing it with RCU, so I've introduced a struct rcu_string that
      does just that and have gone through and protected all accesses to
      device->name that aren't under the uuid_mutex with rcu_read_lock().  This
      protects us and I will use it for dealing with removing the device that we
      used to mount the file system in a later patch.  Thanks,
