This patchset fixes various thinp issues. Aside from fixing some bugs in earlier 3.14-rc1 code (as noted with commit references): the most significant issue addressed is that until now we didn't have the awareness or ability to force the user to perform consistency checks on the thin pool's metadata and data if warranted. While there is a fair amount of change here I feel pretty strongly that these fixes should get upstream ASAP. Posting for review with the hope that I'll get timely feedback/acks so that I can send to Linus early next week. (Alasdair, I went with "needs check" for the flag used in patch 7 even though you initially disagreed with the name.. it is short and to the point, and really: it is internal to the thin implementation. Userspace can spin it however you'd like). Mike Snitzer (8): dm thin: synchronize the pool mode during suspend dm thin: set flag when over the metadata low watermark threshold dm thin: set flag if metadata is out of space dm thin: error out I/O if inappropriate for it to be retried dm thin: fix the error path for the thin device constructor dm thin: fix pool_preresume resize with heavy IO races dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt | 11 +- Documentation/device-mapper/thin-provisioning.txt | 28 +++ drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.c | 118 ++++++++++- drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.h | 23 ++- drivers/md/dm-thin.c | 225 ++++++++++++++++----- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-metadata.c | 19 +- .../md/persistent-data/dm-transaction-manager.c | 13 +- .../md/persistent-data/dm-transaction-manager.h | 2 +- 9 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
