Subject: [PATCH resubmit] Assemble: prevent segfault with faulty "best" devices
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 19:23:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180108182346.GA16046@Dell> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87bmnpsh43.fsf@notabene.neil.brown.name>
In Assemble(), after context reload, best[i] can be -1 in some cases,
and before checking if this value is negative we use it to access
devices[j].i.disk.raid_disk, potentially causing a segfault.
Check if best[i] is negative before using it to prevent this potential
segfault.
Regression was causes by commit 69a481166be6 ("Assemble array with write
journal").
