commit 04e046ca57ebed3943422dee10eec9e73aec081e upstream. pci-epc-mem uses a bitmap to manage the Endpoint outbound (OB) address region. This address region will be shared by multiple endpoint functions (in the case of multi function endpoint) and it has to be protected from concurrent access to avoid updating an inconsistent state. Use a mutex to protect bitmap updates to prevent the memory allocation API from returning incorrect addresses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
