+Subject: md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmap
+
+From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
+
+commit afbaa90b80b1ec66e5137cc3824746bfdf559b18 upstream.
+
+If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible
+for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being
+initialised.
+This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees
+bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly.
+So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap
+to prevent problems.
+
+This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not
+apply cleanly before about 3.1.
