Most uring_cmds issued against ublk character devices are serialized because each command affects only one queue, and there is an early check which only allows a single task (the queue's ubq_daemon) to issue uring_cmds against that queue. However, this mechanism does not work for FETCH_REQs, since they are expected before ubq_daemon is set. Since FETCH_REQs are only used at initialization and not in the fast path, serialize them using the per-ublk-device mutex. This fixes a number of data races that were previously possible if a badly behaved ublk server decided to issue multiple FETCH_REQs against the same qid/tag concurrently.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
