From 30c9afa6cc477f6f21f8a0b36f3b81080941a0c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Eykholt Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:22:14 -0700 Subject: fix race that can give duplicate host number Just once, two fcoe instances got the same host number from scsi_add_host(). Use atomic_t and atomic_inc_return() to get next host number. Subtract 1, so that scsi_host still starts with 0.
