The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure has already been freed. To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.
