Subject: [PATCH] 0/5: Device-Mapper bug-fixes and cleanups
Date: Wed, 26 May 2004 11:52:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200405261152.33233.kevcorry@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Revision 1:
dm-ioctl.c: Fix an OB1 error when calculating an output buffer size,
that could cause a missing null termininator in the 'list devices'
ioctl results. [Steffan Paletta]
Revision 2:
In __map_bio(), if the target returns an error while mapping the I/O, the
cloned bio needs to be freed.
Revision 3:
Replace dm_[add|remove]_wait_queue() with dm_wait_event().
Some testing of DM multipath has turned up a problem with the DEVICE_WAIT
command. In the tests, while performing a DEVICE_WAIT on a multipath device,
the command sometimes returns immediately, even though the event-number is
correct and no path-failure has occurred to trigger an event. The problem
was tracked down to the call to schedule() in dev_wait(), which would return
even though it was not woken up by a DM table event.
This patch moves the responsibility for waiting from the ioctl interface
into the core driver, and uses wait_event_interruptible() instead of relying
on wait-queues and schedule().
Revision 4:
DM: Add static and __init qualifiers. [Dave Olien]
Revision 5:
dm-table.c: Proper usage of dm_vcalloc. [Dave Olien]
