This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm init: Handle minors larger than 255 to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dm-init-handle-minors-larger-than-255.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 91efe177dd708ef630e607f21f86a09b8d9be3d5 Author: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 2 12:13:24 2024 +0200 dm init: Handle minors larger than 255 [ Upstream commit 140ce37fd78a629105377e17842465258a5459ef ] dm_parse_device_entry() simply copies the minor number into dmi.dev, but the dev_t format splits the minor number between the lowest 8 bytes and highest 12 bytes. If the minor number is larger than 255, part of it will end up getting treated as the major number Fix this by checking that the minor number is valid and then encoding it as a dev_t.
