[PATCH 11/27] debugfs: fix create mutex racy fops and private data

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 11 2009 - 17:25:39 EST


From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Setting fops and private data outside of the mutex at debugfs file
creation introduces a race where the files can be opened with the wrong
file operations and private data. It is easy to trigger with a process
waiting on file creation notification.
