[PATCH] dm unstripe: reject stripe indexes equal to the stripe count

From: Samuel Moelius

Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 20:37:57 EST


dm-unstripe accepts a stripe index that is equal to the number of
configured stripes. Valid indexes are zero based, so that value is one
past the last stripe.

The out-of-range value can later be used in mapping calculations and
describe a stripe that does not exist.

Reject stripe indexes greater than or equal to the configured stripe
count.
