Jens,
thanks for the b_dev hint you provided.

This is wrong.
In case of an io error we do already call buffer_IO_error() on 2.4 in lvm_map().
In 2.2 ll_rw_block() does change the state of the buffer and calls
b_end_io() for us at the end of the function:
sorry:
for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
if (bh[i]) {
clear_bit(BH_Dirty, &bh[i]->b_state);
clear_bit(BH_Uptodate, &bh[i]->b_state);
bh[i]->b_end_io(bh[i], 0);
}
}

Please do that. Thanks again.

*** Software bugs are stupid.
Nevertheless it needs not so stupid people to solve them ***
