From c36f4439c72686809e844d28cb1ce385e5346f9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:58:51 +1100 Subject: md: correctly handle probe of an 'mdp' device. commit 8f5f02c460b7ca74ce55ce126ce0c1e58a3f923d upstream. 'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition before opening the whole device. this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number. However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and does the wrong thing with partition numbers. So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.
