Subject: [PATCH 000 of 2] md: Introduction
Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 16:18:45 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060522161259.2792.patches@notabene> (raw)

Two patches to fix two possibly Oopses in md/raid
Both are suitable for 2.6.17.

Both involve indexing off the end of the array, and only cause a
problem if the ends up hitting a non-mapped page.

The first only affects raid0 is fairly rare put possible circumstances.

The second can affect all users of bio_split: linear, raid0, raid10

Thanks to Don Dupuis for hitting these bugs!
