From 8074b26f67165bf045d92e778c9c10dc5e207fc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:49:53 +0100 Subject: mm: fix refcounting in swapon Grab a reference to bdev before calling blkdev_get(), which expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error. The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior of blkdev_get().
