Subject: fix devtmpfs race
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e13889bab3c6b5c839075086d28fe05f71984dda;p=linux-beck.git

fix devtmpfs race

After we's done complete(&req->done), there's nothing to prevent the
scope containing *req from being gone and *req overwritten by any
kind of junk.  So we must read req->next before that...
