[patch 29/30] dm mpath: validate table argument count

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0e0497c0c017664994819f4602dc07fd95896c52 upstream.

The parser reads the argument count as a number but doesn't check that
sufficient arguments are supplied. This command triggers the bug:

dmsetup create mpath --table "0 `blockdev --getsize /dev/mapper/cr0`
    multipath 0 0 2 1 round-robin 1000 0 1 1 /dev/mapper/cr0
    round-robin 0 1 1 /dev/mapper/cr1 1000"
kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm-mpath.c:530!
