From: Stefan Bader <[email protected]>
I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem
situations. It was found using a mirror target but I think in theory it
would hit any setup that stacks device-mapper devices (like LVM on top
of multipath).
Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset
in clone_bio(), and a private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec()
it is possible that the filesystem and the first level target successfully
get bios but the lower level target doesn't because there is no more memory
and the pool was drained by upper layers. So the remapping will be stuck
forever. To solve this device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set
for each device.
