Hi This patch fixes a bug introduced in 2.6.31-rc1. Targets that define iterate_devices and don't contain any devices (such as dm-loop in fsio) don't work. Mikulas --- Fix reverse logic in device_area_is_valid ->iterate_devices method calls the callback for every underlying device in the target. If the callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices exits and returns this value. If the callback returns zero for all the devices, iterate_devices returns zero. The logic to check for invalid device areas was reversed. device_area_is_valid returned 0 on error and 1 on success. Thus: - error was returned only if all the devices vere errorneous. If some of them returned 1 (success), dm_calculate_queue_limits understood this as success. - if the target had no device (the example is dm-loop target in FSIO mode), iterate_devices returned error straight away and dm_calculate_queue_limits understood this as an error. This patch reverses the logic so that 0 means success and 1 means error.
