[PATCH] md: Fix a bug that recently crept into md/linear

From: NeilBrown <hidden>
Date: 2006-08-01 04:08:55
Also in: lkml

This patch fixed a bug in 2.6.18-rc3 It would be good if it can get
into -final.

Thanks,
NeilBrown


### Comments for Changeset

A recent patch that allowed linear arrays to be reconfigured on-line
allowed in a bug which results in divide by zero - not all
mddev->array_size were converted to conf->array_size.

This patch finished the conversion and fixed the bug.

The offending patch was commit 7c7546ccf6463edbeee8d9aac6de7be1cd80d08a.

Thanks to Simon Kirby [off-list ref] for the bug report.
