Partitions mapped by device-mapper are not like real partitions where
there's a /sys/block/<parent>/<name>/dev sysfs path. We need to look
at /sys/block/<name>/dev like we do for any other non-partition devices.
The mapped partition is not found otherwise.
For example, this bug shows up in lsblk while specifying a device
on command line while that device is a dm mapping over a partition:
$lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 128M 0 disk
`-test (dm-0) 253:0 0 128M 0 dm
`-test1 (dm-1) 253:1 0 127M 0 part
Before this patch:
$lsblk /dev/mapper/test1
lsblk: dm-1: unknown device name
With this patch:
$lsblk /dev/mapper/test1
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
test1 (dm-1) 253:1 0 127M 0 part
name += 5; /* unaccesible, or not node in /dev */
}
- if (!dev && parent) {
+ if (!dev && parent && strncmp("dm-", name, 3)) {
/*
* Create path to /sys/block/<parent>/<name>/dev
*/
