[PATCH] device-mapper raid1: drop mark_region spinlock fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The spinlock region_lock is held while calling mark_region which can
sleep.  Drop the spinlock before calling that function.

A region's state and inclusion in the clean list are altered
by rh_inc and rh_dec.  The state variable is set to RH_CLEAN in rh_dec, 
but only if 'pending' is zero.  It is set to RH_DIRTY in rh_inc, but 
not if it is already so.  The changes to 'pending', the state, and 
the region's inclusion in the clean list need to be atomicly.
