[PATCH 3.12 091/118] dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Dec 18 2013 - 16:25:00 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5383ef3a929a1366e2ced45cd6d74be7aa2a2281 upstream.

If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.

When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).
