From 25f7fd470bc97bb93d3a674e8c56c4a29063ec97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:59:18 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md: fix bug in handling of new_data_offset commit c6563a8c38fde3c1c7fc925a10bde3ca20799301 md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices. introduced a 'new_data_offset' attribute which should normally be the same as 'data_offset', but can be explicitly set to a different value to allow a reshape operation to move the data. Unfortunately when the 'data_offset' is explicitly set through sysfs, the new_data_offset is not also set, so the two would become out-of-sync incorrectly. One result of this is that trying to set the 'size' after the 'data_offset' would fail because it is not permitted to set the size when the 'data_offset' and 'new_data_offset' are different - as that can be confusing. Consequently when mdadm tried to do this while assembling an IMSM array it would fail. This bug was introduced in 3.5-rc1.
