[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux-2.6.18/blktap: fix locking

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

blktap_read_ufe_ring() invalidating the mmap index of a request could
race with blktap_clear_pte() reading it. Move the invalidation into the
info->mm->mmap_sem protected region in fast_flush_area(), noting that
doing this on the failure path of dispatch_rw_block_io() is benign.
