Subject: [PATCH] BTT: Change nd_btt_arena_is_valid() to verify UUID
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 16:00:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450393200-6802-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com> (raw)

When user unbinds a BTT disk and binds again with a different
sector size without wiping out the disk, a BTT disk is created
with a wrong size.

This is because the bind operation keeps the previous metadata,
which leads nd_btt->lbasize inconsistent with internal_lbasize
and external_lbasize in the arena.  A reboot also reattaches
the BTT from the previous metadata.

Change nd_btt_arena_is_valid() to check if nd_btt->uuid matches
with super->uuid when a new UUID is set for binding.  This
assures the bind operation writes the metadata with the values
specified by user.
