The patch titled md: fix a few problems with the interface (sysfs and ioctl) to md has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is md-fix-a-few-problems-with-the-interface-sysfs-and-ioctl-to-md.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: md: fix a few problems with the interface (sysfs and ioctl) to md From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md... - When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not update the superblock information - as we may not have read and processed it all properly yet. - initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is started. - all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to sysfs files - when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version, set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata. - allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't been started yet.
