From: Chen Cheng
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 06:16:12 EST
From: Chen Cheng <chencheng@xxxxxxxxx>
Prevent raid5_set_limits() from building a stripe size when the array
geometry reports no data disks.
Reported-by: syzbot+de94ddbfff0c9e6fe030@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=de94ddbfff0c9e6fe030
