[dm-devel] [PATCH 07/13] dm thin: don't use the bi_next field for the holder of a cell

Mike Snitzer snitzer at redhat.com
Wed Feb 29 14:50:11 UTC 2012


From: Joe Thornber <ejt at redhat.com>

The holder can be passed down to lower devices which may want to use
bi_next themselves.  Also add BUG_ON check to confirm fix.

When releasing bios that have been detained in a cell, fix the order in
which the holder and other cellmates are added to the inmates list:
append holder first followed by the other cellmates.
