Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] mtdpart: Avoid divide-by-zero on out-of-reach path
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:54:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080618175446.GG10271@logfs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080618175416.GF10271@logfs.org>

[PATCH 0/4] [MTD][MTDPART] Fix a division by zero bug

Spotted and debugged by Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>

When detecting a partition beyond the end of the device, skip most of
the initialisation, in particular those bits causing a division by zero.
