Subject: dm: lock bd_mutex when setting device size
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:50:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101029215001.GA4827@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101019220711.GA25169@redhat.com>
Avoid taking md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex to update the DM block device's
size. Using md->bdev->bd_mutex eliminates the potential for deadlock if
an fsync is racing with a device resize.
revalidate_disk() was avoided because it would flush_disk() while the DM
device is suspended.

Jun'ichi, was the following your implict Acked-by? Care to make it
explicit?
"Anyway, I think your bd_mutex patch should be fine for now and is
better than the current code with i_mutex, which has a real deadlock
issue."
