[PATCH] fix read past end of array in md/linear.c
When iterating through an array, one must be careful to test one's index
variable rather than another similarly-named variable.
The loop will read off the end of conf->disks[] in the following
(pathological) case:
% dd bs=1 seek=840716287 if=/dev/zero of=d1 count=1
% for i in 2 3 4; do dd if=/dev/zero of=d$i bs=1k count=$(($i+150)); done
% ./vmlinux ubd0=root ubd1=d1 ubd2=d2 ubd3=d3 ubd4=d4
# mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=4 /dev/ubd[1234]
adding some printks, I saw this:
[42949374.960000] hash_spacing = 821120
[42949374.960000] cnt = 4
[42949374.960000] min_spacing = 801
