Before, when a pool is being resized, on resume the pool's mode was
being immediately set to PM_WRITE and the process_* methods would be set
to the normal writeable operations. This was occuring before
pool_resume() was able to actually resize either the metadata or data
device and resulted in the resize failing.
Now, the pool is forced to stay in read-only mode if it was already in
read-only mode. This prevents bouncing the pool's mode and associated
process_* methods and consistently keeps read-only processing in place
until the resize(s) complete. To achieve this the pool can now be in a
PM_READ_ONLY state but the metadata's is !read_only -- so as to allow
the commit() the follows the resize to take place. Differentiate
between commit_metadata_superblock() and commit() since different
negative checks apply (but factor out a common __commit that each
calls).
With this patch the resize_io test passes (on fast storage):
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/
Otherwise, problems like the following 2 examples were seen (again when
testing on really fast PCIe SSD storage):
1)
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: growing the data device from 2048 to 4096 blocks
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: reached low water mark for data device: sending event.

kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 22083 at drivers/md/dm-thin.c:934 alloc_data_block+0x171/0x1a0 [dm_thin_pool]()
dm-thin.c:934 was a WARN_ON() I added if alloc_data_block() was
called when pool mode != PM_WRITE.
The above clearly illustrated that alloc_data_block was still getting
called like crazy even though the pool went read-only waiting for a
resize. This, and the following example, occurred due to the thin
device calling wake_worker() which kicked do_worker() during
pool_preresume() -- which caused calls to prcess_* methods to occur
during the resize.
2)
And this failure offers a clear indicator we weren't properly resizing,
but we were operating like we did:
