dm thin: switch to read only mode if a mapping insert fails
Switch the thin pool to read-only mode when dm_thin_insert_block() fails since there is little reason to expect the cause of the failure to be resolved without further action by user space. This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using: dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/ The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced. before patch: device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: dm_thin_insert_block() failed device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block <snip ... these repeat for a long while ... > device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: space map common: dm_tm_shadow_block() failed device-mapper: thin: 253:4: no free metadata space available. device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode after patch: device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block device-mapper: thin: 253:4: dm_thin_insert_block() failed: error = -28 device-mapper: thin: 253:4: switching pool to read-only mode Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
