Hi!

I am trying to implement a software RAID driver. However, I am having
problems sending a simple bio request to the physical device.

I am using open_bdev_excl and submit_bio to accomplish this[1]. However,
if I use submit_bio, an oops occurs. Does anyone have a clue of what the
problem could be?

I am testing the kernel module under VMware and I have added a disk (and
partitioned it) for my tests:

(output of fdisk -l)
