From f1cd14ae52985634d0389e934eba25b5ecf24565 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Noll Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 19:41:24 +1100 Subject: md: linear: Fix a division by zero bug for very small arrays. We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices. The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to the small size of the component devices of the array. Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which implies that also "base" is non-zero. This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.
