There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v4:
  * [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
  * [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.

Changes from v3:
  * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
  * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Vaughan Cao (4):
   [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open
   [SCSI] sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock
   [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open
   [SCSI] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device
     locking

Patchset looks good to me, although I didn't test it on hardware yet.

James, care to pick this up?

Acked-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilb...@interlog.com>

Tested O_EXCL with multiple processes and threads; passed.
sg driver prior to this patch had "leaky" O_EXCL logic
according to the same test. Block device passed.

James, could you clean this up:
  drivers/scsi/sg.c:242:6: warning: unused variable ‘res’ [-Wunused-variable]
