dm-snapshot: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on real-time kernels

2026-01-17T15:29:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8581b19eb2c5ccf06c195d3b5468c3c9d17a5020 ] There is reported 'scheduling while atomic' bug when using dm-snapshot on real-time kernels. The reason for the bug is that the hlist_bl code does preempt_disable() when taking the lock and the kernel attempts to take other spinlocks while holding the hlist_bl lock. Fix this by converting a hlist_bl spinlock into a regular spinlock. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Reported-by: Jiping Ma Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

dm snapshot: fix lockup in dm_exception_table_exit

2024-04-03T13:28:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6e7132ed3c07bd8a6ce3db4bb307ef2852b322dc ] There was reported lockup when we exit a snapshot with many exceptions. Fix this by adding "cond_resched" to the loop that frees the exceptions.

block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags

2023-06-12T14:04:05+00:00

The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE. Define a new blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and ->ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

dm-snap: simplify the origin_dev == cow_dev check in snapshot_ctr

2023-06-05T16:57:40+00:00

Use the block_device acquired in dm_get_device for the check instead of doing an extra lookup. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Mike Snitzer Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230531125535.676098-18-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
