Hi Mike, yet another refcount_t regression: --- a/drivers/md/dm-table.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-table.c @@ -451,15 +451,15 @@ int dm_get_device(struct dm_target *ti, const char *path, fmode_t mode, return r; } - atomic_set(&dd->count, 0); + refcount_set(&dd->count, 1); list_add(&dd->list, &t->devices); } else if (dd->dm_dev->mode != (mode | dd->dm_dev->mode)) { r = upgrade_mode(dd, mode, t->md); if (r) return r; + refcount_inc(&dd->count); } - atomic_inc(&dd->count); *result = dd->dm_dev; return 0; is _NOT_ an equivalent modification. If the second 'if' claus is not taken, the reference count is never increased and the system goes 'boom'. Will be sending a patch shortly.
