This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt12. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 754d4a204b19e596a5ab81821340b463887cd60f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 13:38:50 +0200 Subject: dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size commit 40d43c4b4cac4c2647bf07110d7b07d35f399a84 upstream. The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512 bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata device into one preallocated page. Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on a 4096-byte sector device this fails. Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work. Also add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.
