This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available to the 3.8-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: md-raid5-avoid-accessing-gendisk-or-queue-structs-when-not-available.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e3620a3ad52609f64a2402e4b59300afb4b83b77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 16:22:01 -0600 Subject: MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available From: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e3620a3ad52609f64a2402e4b59300afb4b83b77 upstream. MD RAID5: Fix kernel oops when RAID4/5/6 is used via device-mapper Commit a9add5d (v3.8-rc1) added blktrace calls to the RAID4/5/6 driver. However, when device-mapper is used to create RAID4/5/6 arrays, the mddev->gendisk and mddev->queue fields are not setup. Therefore, calling things like trace_block_bio_remap will cause a kernel oops. This patch conditionalizes those calls on whether the proper fields exist to make the calls. (Device-mapper will call trace_block_bio_remap on its own.) This patch is suitable for the 3.8.y stable kernel.
