Subject: [patch] Avoid race in zf_mkdir
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 15:07:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201009200737.GA78914@CptOrmolo.darkstar> (raw)

A user reported in #zsh they were seeing sporadic zf_mkdir errors when
concurrently creating the same directory. Move the stat ISDIR check to
after the mkdir call to avoid the race.
