[PATCH] dm snapshot: remove try_again goto from snapshot_merge_process()

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

 



Replace snapshot_merge_process()'s 'goto try_again;' loop with a while
loop that calls origin_write_extent().  origin_write_extent() triggers
exceptions in all non-merging snapshots for the specified extent.
