From: Mikulas Patocka 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!
