Alasdair, I think it would be best to drop this patch. We can accomplish the same using Mike Anderson's new dm_table_md_suspended: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/59743/ Dropping dm-snapshot-track-suspended-state-in-target.patch requires a small tweak to dm-snapshot-allow-live-exception-store-handover-between-tables.patch The following just illustrates how minimal this change is. For your convenience I'll just send v8 of the handover patch that includes this change (and it will also bump the snapshot target's version now that dm-snapshot-track-suspended-state-in-target.patch is out of the picture). --- diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-snap.c b/drivers/md/dm-snap.c index fce0c39..1543932 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-snap.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-snap.c @@ -1325,6 +1325,7 @@ static int snapshot_preresume(struct dm_target *ti) up_write(&snap_src->lock); goto normal_snapshot; } + up_write(&snap_src->lock); if (s == snap_src) { /* handover source must not resume before destination */ DMERR("Unable to handover exceptions on " @@ -1334,13 +1335,12 @@ static int snapshot_preresume(struct dm_target *ti) r = -EINVAL; } else { /* if handover-destination, source must be suspended */ - if (!snap_src->suspended) { + if (!dm_table_md_suspended(snap_src->ti->table)) { DMERR("Unable to accept exceptions from a " "snapshot that is not suspended."); r = -EINVAL; } } - up_write(&snap_src->lock); } normal_snapshot: -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
