fixes for running on devices with protetion information

fixes for running on devices with protetion information

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

currently various tests either hang or fail when running on devices
with protection information.  This series makes tests using
unsupported device mapper targets _notrun instead of hanging or
failing with obscure errors.

Bote that to usefully run on devices with PI you'll also need my kernel
patches that fix a regression in PI information stacking and the
one-liner to add dm-error support for passing on integrity data.

[PATCH 1/3] dmthin: _notrun when dm-thin setup fails

[Christoph Hellwig]

dm-think does not work on device with protection information.  Instead
of failing the tests using it in obscure ways, _norun them.

Heh, I wish we had a thinking device mapper target. :)

Anyhow, failure to set up a dm-thinp volume sounds like failing to meet
a test precondition, sooo

Me too :) anyway I'll help to change this typo.

I'm wondering, if we choose _notrun when _dmthin_init/dmsetup_create fails,
but others _dmxxxx_init/dmsetup_create [1]  fails, we still call _fatal. Isn't
that an inconsistent behavior :)

I think more notrun would be fine.  These are the ones I ran into
with a totally normal setup that has PI enabled on the test and
scratch devices, so they were my priority.

OK, the patchset has been merged into patches-in-queue branch, will be pushed
if no regression from it. If PI enabled devices don't support thinp related
tests, you can exclude "thin" group. (But we might need to make sure that
the "thin" group is added into all cases use _dmthin_init.)

[PATCH 2/3] generic/081: don't hang when running on devices with protection information

[Christoph Hellwig]

The dm snapshot target does not work on devices with protection
information, and the udevadm settle command simply hangs when lvcreate
failed because of that.  Avoid that by doing a strategic _notrun when
lvcreate fails.
