4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2eae9e4489b4cf83213fa3bd508b5afca3f01780 upstream.
If a transaction abort has failed then we can no longer use the metadata
device. Typically this happens if the superblock is unreadable.
This fix addresses a crash seen during metadata device failure testing.
Fixes: 8a01a6af75 ("dm thin: prefetch missing metadata pages")
