Subject: PATCH: make blkmtd work
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2004 12:12:44 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <404A149C.5060702@vpop.net> (raw)

blkmtd wasn't working for me at all, oopsing because it tried to 
dereference a NULL pointer. This patch fixes it:

        dev->mtd_info.size = dev->blkdev->bd_inode->i_size & PAGE_MASK;
 
        /* Setup the MTD structure */


This patch makes it work for me. Does this look right? If so, how do I 
go about getting it committed?
