Subject: [PATCH] MD: raid1 s/sysfs_notify_dirent/sysfs_notify_dirent_safe
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:53:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310676829.2246.7.camel@f14.redhat.com> (raw)

If device-mapper creates a RAID1 array that includes devices to
be rebuilt, it will deref a NULL pointer when finished because
sysfs is not used by device-mapper instantiated RAID devices.

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
