[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH] md: dm-init: Wait devices if it's not find on first adpet

[Michael Trimarchi <michael@amarulasolutions.com>]

The device driver can be deferrable and can be a race during
the dm-init early. We need to wait all the probe are really finished
in a loop as is done in do_mounts. This is was tested on kernel 5.4
but code seems was not changed since that time
