[PATCH 29/31] Driver core: Add mutex for adding/removing memory blocks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Oct 22 2010 - 14:26:51 EST


From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new mutex for use in adding and removing of memory blocks. This
is needed to avoid any race conditions in which the same memory block could
be added and removed at the same time.
