[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Patch to dm.c to delay the add_disk call for a newly created mapped device
until after the mapped device's map is loaded for the first time in dev_load
so that an a hotplug/uevent handler will not fail to acquire information
about
the mapped device's map.
