Subject: [fuse] fix race between checking and setting file->private_data
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc3~14
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8aa09a50b5d9dbdf627f79e19d72d82994348089;p=karo-tx-linux.git

[fuse] fix race between checking and setting file->private_data

BKL does not protect against races if the task may sleep between
checking and setting a value.  So move checking of file->private_data
near to setting it in fuse_fill_super().
