From 05ce7fb946c37fc6fc8bf14073279e570f78f69e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Webb Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2022 12:03:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] md: Explicitly create command-line configured devices Boot-time assembly of arrays with md= command-line arguments breaks when CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is unset. md_setup_drive() in md-autodetect.c calls blkdev_get_by_dev(), assuming this implicitly creates the block device. Fix this by attempting to md_alloc() the array first. As in the probe path, ignore any error as failure is caught by blkdev_get_by_dev() anyway.
