Subject: [PATCH 1/2] md: make mddev lookup and ioctl helpers non-static
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 20:12:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928201224.3602262-2-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928201224.3602262-1-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com>

A following patch adds an md misc control device, so that arrays can
be managed without opening the md block device. Its code lives in a
separate file and needs to look up arrays and reuse existing ioctl
helpers.
