2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown commit de01dfadf25bf83cfe3d85c163005c4320532658 upstream. Each different metadata format supported by md supports a different maximum number of devices. We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but we aren't quite doing that properly. We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an older interface which is not used by current userspace. We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array. So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'. This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.
