Otherwise, just activating a thin-pool and thin device and then deactivating them will cause the thin-pool metadata to be changed (e.g. superblock written) -- even without any metadata being changed. Add 'in_service' flag to struct dm_pool_metadata and set it in pmd_write_lock() because all on-disk metadata changes must take a write lock of pmd->root_lock. Once 'in_service' is set it is never cleared. __commit_transaction() will return 0 if 'in_service' is not set. dm_pool_commit_metadata() is updated to use __pmd_write_lock() so that it isn't the sole reason for putting a thin-pool in service. Also fix dm_pool_commit_metadata() to open the next transaction if the return from __commit_transaction() is 0. Not seeing why the early return ever made since for a return of 0 given that dm-io's async_io(), as used by bufio, always returns 0. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
