nbd: do not allow two clients at the same time
Two nbd-clients at same time are bad idea, and cause WARN_ON from nbd in 2.6.28-rc7 from sysfs_add_one. This simply prevents that from happening. To reproduce: cat /dev/zero | head -c 10000000 > /tmp/delme.fstest.fs nbd-server 9100 -l /anyone.can.connect > /tmp/delme.fstest.fs & sleep 1 nbd-client localhost 9100 /dev/nd0 & nbd-client localhost 9100 /dev/nd0 & Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
