From ffc41cf8dbb1b895a87daf47d0e5bf6dfbfcab4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 13:04:47 -0700 Subject: nbd: prevent sock_xmit from attempting to use a NULL socket NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during receives. This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting the nbd_device's socket to NULL right before NBD calls sock_xmit.
