Hi

I suggest this patch (but it's only compile-tested, so please run some 
testsuite on it).

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka at redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps

There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps races
with multipath_message. multipath_message opens and closes a device using
dm_get_device and dm_put_device; retrieve_deps walks the list of open
devices without holding any lock. The end result may be memory corruption
or use-after-free memory access.

multipath_message already holds a mutex that prevents two
multipath_messages from running concurrently - in order to fix this race
condition, we modify retrieve_deps, so that it grabs and frees this mutex
too.

We add an entry "devices_mutex" to "struct dm_table" and we introduce a 
function "dm_table_set_devices_mutex" that sets it. The mutex is set in 
the multipath target contructor.
