commit 692d0626557451c4b557397f20b7394b612d0289 Author: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue Sep 1 11:59:41 2020 +0200 block: fix locking in bdev_del_partition [ Upstream commit 08fc1ab6d748ab1a690fd483f41e2938984ce353 ] We need to hold the whole device bd_mutex to protect against other thread concurrently deleting out partition before we get to it, and thus causing a use after free.
