Subject: [PATCH 2/2] brd: Fix brd_direct_access with partitions
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 17:18:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53D8FEC7.8020804@plexistor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <53D8FE1F.1060009@plexistor.com>
When brd_direct_access() is called on a partition-bdev
it would access the wrong sector. And caller would then
corrupt the device's data.
This is a preliminary fix, Matthew Wilcox has a patch
in his DAX patchset which will define a global wrapper
to bdev->bd_disk->fops->direct_access that will do the
proper checks and translations before calling a driver
global member. (The way it is done at the rest of the
block stack)
