Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:43:39 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de> Subject: [ 18/40] md: raid0: fix error return from create_stripe_zones. 3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de> commit 58ebb34c49fcfcaa029e4b1c1453d92583900f9a upstream. Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*. The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a crash. So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from create_stripe_zones. This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable for any kernel since then.
