From 4a02b34e0cf1d0d0dd3737702841da4bf615a50a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 12:20:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm thin: switch to read-only mode if metadata space is exhausted Switch the thin pool to read-only mode in alloc_data_block() if dm_pool_alloc_data_block() fails because the pool's metadata space is exhausted. Differentiate between data and metadata space in messages about no free space available. This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using: dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/ The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced. before patch: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for metadata device: sending event. device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: 253:4: commit failed: error = -28 device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode after patch: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for metadata device: sending event. device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: 253:4: no free metadata space available. device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Acked-by: Joe Thornber Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- Reading git-format-patch failed
