4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Joe Thornber <[email protected]> commit 3201ac452e84a8a368197d648c9b7011e061804a upstream. If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs. __commit_transaction() is responsible for setting/clearing CLEAN_SHUTDOWN (based the flags_mutator that is passed in). Fix this issue, of the cache's on-disk flags being wrong, by making sure __commit_transaction() does not reset the flags after the mutator has altered the flags in preparation for them being serialized to disk. before: sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags)); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); after: disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags)); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags); Reported-by: Bogdan Vasiliev <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> --- drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c @@ -634,10 +634,10 @@ static int __commit_transaction(struct d disk_super = dm_block_data(sblock); + disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); if (mutator) update_flags(disk_super, mutator); - disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); disk_super->mapping_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->root); disk_super->hint_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->hint_root); disk_super->discard_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->discard_root); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
