    Subject[63/68] md: correctly handle probe of an mdp device.
    2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

    commit 8f5f02c460b7ca74ce55ce126ce0c1e58a3f923d upstream.

    'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
    for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
    before opening the whole device.

    this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
    partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.

    However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
    does the wrong thing with partition numbers.

    So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
    a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

    This patch addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28652
