[PATCH v3 04/17] dm snapshot: exception handover improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Simplify exception handover so that the duplicate snapshot is found in
one location (snapshot_ctr) and recorded in the associated (old and new)
snapshots that will be participating in the handover.

Confines handover to be from a specific snapshot to another specific
snapshot without additional __find_duplicate() calls.

Documents the exception handover state diagram with relevant comments
in the associated code.
