dm-unstripe: fix mapping bug when there are multiple targets in a table
The "unstriped" device-mapper target incorrectly calculates the sector offset on the mapped device when the target's origin is not zero. Take for example this hypothetical concatenation of the members of a two-disk RAID0: linearized: 0 2097152 unstriped 2 128 0 /dev/md/raid0 0 linearized: 2097152 2097152 unstriped 2 128 1 /dev/md/raid0 0 The intent in this example is to create a single device named /dev/mapper/linearized that comprises all of the chunks of the first disk of the RAID0 set, followed by all of the chunks of the second disk of the RAID0 set. This fails because dm-unstripe.c's map_to_core function does its computations based on the sector number within the mapper device rather than the sector number within the target. The bug turns invisible when the target's origin is at sector zero of the mapper device, as is the common case. In the example above, however, what happens is that the first half of the mapper device gets mapped correctly to the first disk of the RAID0, but the second half of the mapper device gets mapped past the end of the RAID0 device, and accesses to any of those sectors return errors.
