NeilBrown af5628f05d md: disable probing for md devices 512 and over. ... The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number. This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and find that it has created something. It is easy for a race to cause udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to suddenly re-appear. For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm normally avoids. Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems. This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR) and a minor of 512 and up. This devices created by writing to new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.
