I guess you mean this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c2318d07ead871f058dda62e942ed7b6b1c1cfcf
Unfortunately it is not correct:
diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-table.c b/drivers/md/dm-table.c

r = upgrade_mode(dd, mode, t->md);
if (r)
return r;
- refcount_inc(&dd->count);
}
+ refcount_inc(&dd->count);
Problem will be here if you hit this refcount_inc() after the refcount_set(&dd->count, 0) earlier.
refcount_inc() does not increment on zero value *ever* for security reasons and instead people
should initialize refcounters to 1 always and do increments from there if needed.
This was the reason for the initial change I did, my mistake was just to forget to increment it also
in case condition (dd->dm_dev->mode != (mode | dd->dm_dev->mode)) fails.
I have issues with my intel smpt server for sending patches (I will get it fixed tomorrow from internal network),
so I am attaching the patch I did end of last week to this thread instead (or alternatively can properly send it tomorrow after fix).
Sorry for the delay!
Best Regards,
Elena.
