Subject: [PATCH] md/raid1: fix len reuse across rdevs in choose_first_rdev()
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 11:35:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260426093506.14316-1-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com> (raw)

choose_first_rdev() initializes the variable len before iterating over
all rdevs, but passes it by reference to raid1_check_read_range(), which
it might update *len and return 0 depending on the layout of the bad
block region. As a result, 'len' can be modified during the first
iteration and reused for subsequent rdevs, causing later devices to be
evaluated with an incorrect length value.

Fixes: 31a73331752d3 ("md/raid1: factor out read_first_rdev() from read_balance()")
