Subject: [PATCH v2] dm snapshot: revise snapshot_resume's exception handover
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 17:11:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091104221148.GA19580@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1257371140-18483-1-git-send-email-snitzer@redhat.com>
Until now snapshot_resume only allowed the resuming snapshot to get the
exception store from another snapshot.
Revise snapshot_resume's exception handover to allow a snapshot to
handover its exceptions to another snapshot prior to resuming.
This is needed to accomodate the following sequence:
new_snapshot->ctr
old_snapshot->suspend
old_snapshot->resume
new_snapshot->resume
lvm2 relies on this sequence if 'lvchange --refresh' is used to start a
snapshot merge that was deferred until both origin and snapshot were not
in use.
