3.19.8-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <e...@redhat.com>
commit fb4100ae7f312c3d614b37621c2b17b3b7cf65f8 upstream.
There is a race between a policy deciding to replace a cache entry,
the core target writing back any dirty data from this block, and other
IO threads doing IO to the same block.
This sort of problem is avoided most of the time by the core target
grabbing a bio prison cell before making the request to the policy.
But for a demotion the core target doesn't know which block will be
demoted, so can't do this in advance.
Fix this demotion race by introducing a callback to the policy interface
that allows the policy to grab the cell on behalf of the core target.
