    [PATCH] EDAC: protect memory controller list · 18dbc337
    Dave Peterson authored
    - Fix code so we always hold mem_ctls_mutex while we are stepping
      through the list of mem_ctl_info structures.  Otherwise bad things
      may happen if one task is stepping through the list while another
      task is modifying it.  We may eventually want to use reference
      counting to manage the mem_ctl_info structures.  In the meantime we
      may as well fix this bug.
    
    - Don't disable interrupts while we are walking the list of
      mem_ctl_info structures in check_mc_devices().  This is unnecessary.
