Subject: tools/hotplug/Linux: force release lock if holder process is gone (fix)
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https:/%22bookmarks://%22/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https:/%22bookmarks:/%22?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5d0efa621fff90f4252108dacb8155f222145c96;p=xen.git

tools/hotplug/Linux: force release lock if holder process is gone (fix)

22508:57907b28e51a was unsafe for mutual exclusion.  There is a case
that the owner file doesn't exist yet when an atomic mkdir operation
fails.
