> As part of better error handling, remove DM devices that have been
> sucessfully created but failed to load a table.  This can happen
> when pvmove'ing in a cluster and the cluster mirror daemon is not
> running on a remote node - the mapping table failing to load as a
> result.  In this case, any revert would work on other nodes running
> cmirrord because the DM devices on those nodes did succeed in loading.
> However, because no table was able to load on the non-cmirrord nodes,
> there is no table present that points to what needs to be reverted.
> This causes the empty DM device to remain on the system without being
> present in any LVM representation.
>
> This patch should only be considered a partial fix to the overall
> problem.  This is because only the device which failed to load a
> table is removed.  Any LVs that may have been loaded as requirements
> to the DM device that failed to load may be left in place.  Complete
> clean-up will require tracking those devices which have been created
> as dependencies and removing them along with the device that failed
> to load a table.

This is adding just another 'ioctl' on the path - IMHO this should be
removed.
