[PATCH v6] dm snapshot: allow live exception store handover between tables

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

 



Permit in-use snapshot exception data to be 'handed over' from one
snapshot instance to another.  This is a pre-requisite for patches
that allow the changes made in a snapshot device to be merged back into
its origin device and also allows device resizing.

The basic call sequence is:

  dmsetup load new_snapshot (referencing the existing in-use cow device)
     - the ctr code detects that the cow is already in use and links the
       two snapshot target instances together
  dmsetup suspend original_snapshot
  dmsetup resume new_snapshot
     - the new_snapshot becomes live, and if anything now tries to access
       the original one it will receive EIO
  dmsetup remove original_snapshot

(There can only be two snapshot targets referencing the same cow device
simultaneously.)

Snapshot locking is such that:
0) snapshot that is passed to find_snapshot_using_cow() is not locked
1) only need handover-source lock to determine if handover is needed
   - handover-source lock is primary lock used in handover code paths
   - only need handover-destination lock before handover_exceptions()
2) handover-source lock is taken before handover-destination lock
   - but this is only ever needed before calling handover_exceptions()
