Subject[PATCH 3.8 035/166] dm thin: switch to read only mode if a mapping insert fails
Date
3.8.13.16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

commit fafc7a815e40255d24e80a1cb7365892362fa398 upstream.

Switch the thin pool to read-only mode when dm_thin_insert_block() fails
since there is little reason to expect the cause of the failure to be
resolved without further action by user space.

This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/

The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced.

before patch:

device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed
device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block
device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed
device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block

device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed
device-mapper: thin: 253:4: no free metadata space available.
device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode

after patch:

device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block
device-mapper: thin: 253:4: dm_thin_insert_block() failed: error = -28
device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode
