commit 2448a299ec416a80f699940a86f4a6d9a4f643b1 upstream. Currently we have a race on vcdev->config in virtio_ccw_get_config() and in virtio_ccw_set_config(). This normally does not cause problems, as these are usually infrequent operations. However, for some devices writing to/reading from the config space can be triggered through sysfs attributes. For these, userspace can force the race by increasing the frequency.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
