This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm thin: resume even if in FAIL mode to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dm-thin-resume-even-if-in-fail-mode.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ac99413d3a22b5c9db7fc55f0ecca8d9798a622f Author: Luo Meng <luomeng12@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 30 10:09:45 2022 +0800 dm thin: resume even if in FAIL mode [ Upstream commit 19eb1650afeb1aa86151f61900e9e5f1de5d8d02 ] If a thinpool set fail_io while suspending, resume will fail with: device-mapper: resume ioctl on vg-thinpool failed: Invalid argument The thin-pool also can't be removed if an in-flight bio is in the deferred list. This can be easily reproduced using: echo "offline" > /sys/block/sda/device/state dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4K count=1 dmsetup suspend /dev/mapper/pool mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/thin dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/pool The root cause is maybe_resize_data_dev() will check fail_io and return error before called dm_resume. Fix this by adding FAIL mode check at the end of pool_preresume().
