[ Upstream commit 432e25902b9651622578c6248e549297d03caf66 ] Racing conflict could be: task A task B list_for_each_entry strcmp(h->name)) list_for_each_entry strcmp(h->name) kzalloc kzalloc ...... ..... device_create device_create list_add list_add The root cause is that task B has no idea about the fact someone else(A) has inserted heap with same name when it calls list_add, so a potential collision occurs.

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.
