Sorry if that statement confused you , It was debugging print
that was added to check if the tight while loop has ended or not
Code : dm-init.c
dm_init_init()
wait_for_device_probe();
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(waitfor); i++) {
if (waitfor[i]) {
dev_t dev;
DMERR("waiting for device %s ...", waitfor[i]);
while ((dev= name_to_dev_t(waitfor[i]) !=0))
fsleep(5000);
}
DMERR("exiting after %s ",waitfor[i]); <<<<<<<<<<<here it was added
}
if (waitfor[0])
DMINFO("all devices available");
list_for_each_entry(dev, &devices, list) {
if (dm_early_create(&dev->dmi, dev->table,
dev->target_args_array))
break;
}

BTW. I see that the "dm-mod.waitfor" mechanism was introduced in 6.2, and it is not available in 5.15.104.
So I suggest that you upgrade the kernel to at least 6.2, or backport the upstream patch 035641b01e72af4f6c6cf22a4bdb5d7dfc4e8e8e to your kernel 5.15.104.
