This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled md: raid0: fix error return from create_stripe_zones. to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 39944d5b70f5971cff90b942812413cb45a2fb03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:36:38 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: raid0: fix error return from create_stripe_zones. 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.
