From 32557bc8125cb426c96cdd98c6cb01e3a305d68a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 12:27:21 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md: fix error path when duplicate name is found on md device creation. When an md device is created by name (rather than number) we need to check that the name is not already in use. If this check finds a duplicate, we return an error without dropping the lock or freeing the newly create mddev. This patch fixes that.
