From: Joe Eykholt Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 06:22:14 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fix race that can give duplicate host number X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=30c9afa6cc477f6f21f8a0b36f3b81080941a0c9;p=linux-beck.git fix race that can give duplicate host number Just once, two fcoe instances got the same host number from scsi_add_host(). Use atomic_t and atomic_inc_return() to get next host number. Subtract 1, so that scsi_host still starts with 0.
